It is generally recommended to use a standard account for day-to-day
operations, and to reserve the administrator account for any actions that
affect all user(s) on a system. Even when there is only one user, say on a
home PC, if I understand things correctly, it is best to have both an
administrator and a standard account.

But what is the better alternative, if any: enable the built-in
administrator account and convert the administrator account that is created
automatically when installing Vista to a standard one; or create a second,
standard account alongside the administrator that is created when installing
Vista, and leave the built-in administrator account disabled.

Any thoughts or recommendations?
