(pardon the double post.....this question posted in the wrong forum earlier)
-------------

I recently ran the Belarc Advisor utility which IDs all your hardware componnents, xp updates installed, etc.

I noticed under the Users section, there are some "Local SYSTEM Accounts" (in addition to local User accounts)

I cannot find theses SYSTEM accounts listed under the "User Accounts" via the Control Pannel.

Does anyone know WHAT Local SYSTEM Accounts are (in WIN XP Pro), if this is a security issue, and HOW I can get rid of them?

THANKS
