If you didnt follow the tutorial on enabling the hidden built in administrator account then your just a user who happens to have some admin powers.

Well since I am trying to see what runs and what doesn't for the average user I haven't gone threw brought the Admin out.
So far I have yet to see the reason to regedit the hidden account out yet, yeah the prompts do get to me from time to time but they slowly go away.

I dont see why anyone needs to use it unless there's a problem with their usual account, I don't use it because the built-in administrator account just runs with virtualization and UAC disabled and also causes problems with some older xp/2000 applications (i.e. CivilCad & Visual Studio) that need the virtualization to run properly on Vista/Win7.

The standard Admin User (not the hidden one) works just fine.
Using the SuperAdmin (the hidden one) is a security issue. If a virus gets in with that, it has full run of your sys.
