Uhh... if you say so... :p

User "Guest" can be an admin if you just add it to the Administrators group.
Yeah, I know that any user can be given admin permissions, but I thought that the admin with the username "Administrator" was built-in and "special."

With all this I mean that a user who has the needed rights to delete accounts (ie: a user in the administrators group) can delete the administrator account,

The 2 quotes above seem to conflict with each other... :p

Administrator Account Basics
Every Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 computer on your network, except for the domain controllers (DCs), has a local account named Administrator. Every domain also has an Administrator account. To make sure you don't lock yourself out of your computers or your domain, Microsoft set some limits on the built-in Administrator account: You can't delete it, disable it, or lock it out (even if you apply an account lockout policy, that policy doesn't apply to the Administrator account).
