The "Administrator" account. I'm assumming that this is like "root" in unix. Only use it for installing things and system config. I am right?

Yes, definitely. If you surf the Web while logged on as Administrator you can be "owned" in a second.

Sometime next week you'll discover that using the Administrator account properly is almost impossible to do in practice, but I don't want you to get discouraged just yet. "qbullet.smiley"
