Yes, I think you would find if you disable all admin accounts, the Administrator
account would appear on the logon screen. I wouldn't try it though, unless you are
prepared to re-install, if it shouldn't work.
I guess system restore is most people's ace in the hole. I've never used it, and
I probably won't use it. It's just my style. I keep my important data on a different
partition from the OS installation partition, and I back up my important data periodically.
I'm not very concerned about the OS getting clobbered. I can always re-install it.
I just think it is foolish to make it depend on only one admin account.
Actually, I have two hard drives in my computers and I have at least one install
of the OS on each one, so it would be very unlikely that I couldn't boot up one of
them. But again, I want an alternate admin account, just in case. It's sort of
like carrying a spare tire in the trunk of my car.
