XP Local Security Policy - beyond Administrator's control?

In XP Pro, I've found that under Control
Panel/Administative Tools/Local Security Policy, all
policies listed indicate the top-level security setting
as "Administrator", as I'd expect...except for three that
show "SUPPORT_########" (actual numbers not shared in
case it could allow unathorized access.)

The policies with this latter security setting include:
1) Deny logon locally,
2) Deny access to this computer from a network, and
3) Log on as a batch job.
These are all things that concern me if SUPPORT_########
is an external agent; I thought Administrator was the
highest and only power in the system, and would have
expected it to be for the listed functions ("policies").

I'm on broadband cable, a single use computer, with 2
user accounts. Does anyone know the significance of
these notations?

John.
 
I suggest you ask your question in a newsgroup devoted to windows XP
security. This one is about security in Access, the database product.
