Administrator account difficulties

There was a default administrator account created when I
installed Windows [obviously], I then created an account
with administrative access called Admin. I don't wasnt
this account anymore but when I come to delete it - logged
on as Administrator - it tells me that I need to create
another administrative account before I am allowed to
delete this one. What have I done wrong?

Not quite the answer, but you should NOT use the built-in Administrator
Account for daily use. Keep it for emergencies, such as when your user
account goes belly up, otherwise you are looking at repair installs of XP.
