Your system seems to be mangled. There should be no "root" user.

You are missing one? Don't tell me, you have
Administrator instead?
Maybe that's why you see Greg's messages as top-posted, where
as I saw him as interleaving his response w/what I said? ;-)
If you have Win7-Pro or above, you can rename Admin

If you read windows 'rules', you'd know that... (so many rules
to read...really hard for someone to keep up)...
