I have been using the Admin account for all my work and want to go to a
limited (or whatever it's called). I currently have three accounts:
Administrator, All Users, and Default.
Can I use the Default account for my everyday use? If so how do I rename it,
or do I copy it to a new account? Etc., Etc. ?
Thanks, Jim H

Those you listed are not actually accounts.
If your saw this in the Documents and Settings folders they do not represent
actual account (with the exception of Administrator). They are used for
profile creation for new user accounts and for the generation of Start Menu
items that are common to all user profiles.

If you wish to create another user account then the admin one you are using
then do so.
In the control panel User accounts applet.

There is one account: 'administrator'. The others are not accounts but
used to share Start menu and desktop icons or creation of new
profiles.
See User Accounts in control panel to create a new user for everyday
use.
