Once you enable the Vista hidden Administrator account, can you copy an existing user profile to that account?

Andy:

I don't think so as you would needc supreme rights to modify a supreme rights account. Beside using the hidden admin account for every-day use is dangerous. Imagine a keylogger or any someone gaining access and setting you up as a proxy?
Remember the hidden account has access and rights to change anything.

Look up "office 2007 updates needs adnin" by user grey. It is explained in that post.
