Hi

I went in to disable my Administrator Account, and I found this....

Link Removed

I was about to delete it and thought that I should as here first, I don't have any idea what this is.
It was already disabled but it looks very strange to me.

Anyone know what this is?

Mike

Hi Trouble

Thanks for the information.
I'll just leave it the way it is.

Disabling my Administrator Account, did make my computer boot to my User Account as Mike suggested some time ago.
I finally did it today after the latest update.

I didn't clean install and I have it so I guess that's probably not the case, unless it shows up when you refresh.
