WhenI re-installed Windows 7 Ultimate RC I landed up with two administrators named Frank Taylor.
I wouldn't mind except they both have different desktops. I have been unable to remove the interloper. The computer will let me delete the correct one, but not the stranger. (Is this racism?)
If anyone can tell me how to evict FT the second, I will be pleased.:D
otherwise.:(

I would go in via safemode using the default administrator account (assuming this isn't disabled).
You'll probably found the interloper is the actual main account, so you will need to swap them over before deleting it.
This is under the assumption that windows 7 works similiarly to XP in this way. To boot into SAFE MODE tap F8 when booting then a screen will popup with various options. SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING should suffice, should you need to google whilst making the amendments.
Hope that helps! :thumbsup:

Thanks. I'll give it a go.
EDIT: Managed to sort it out. Thank you.
