To my knowledge, in Vista, the only difference between a regular
administrator account the normally disabled Administrator account is that
the disabled Administrator account, when enabled (command window: net user
administrator /active:yes), runs with full administrative privileges at all
times and does not need consent for elevation which makes it a very
dangerous account to use because a program running under it can do anything
the program wants to do without your knowledge or consent.
