Easy Transfer extra Administrator account

copied from the installation forum. perhaps someone knows here. I have since
booted in safe mode on my old XP system and seen the hidden built in
Administrator acccount I never new existed. Is that the extra account that
Easy Transfer made and has it messed up my system? Anything I can do about
it short of doing a reinstall and not using Easy Transfer?

When I used Easy Transfer everything went well except the transfer program
created an extra account for Administrator that I could not use my name for
so I called it admin. I was the sole administrative user on XP and do not
want that extra account. I took a class and the consultant told me that
account was a XP system account and the only way to fix it was to reinstall
and not use Easy Transfer next time. Is he right about that extra
Administrator account? Is it really different from an ordinary Vista one
that I could just delete? The only thing I could find associated with it on
Vista were two duplicate program shortcuts.
