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

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.
