Ah yes, but I don't recall doing anything special during Vista
installation and it still made my personal user an administrator so I
have never needed to use 'the' administrator account.  Perhaps I told
it to make me an admin during installation, but I don't think so.

That has not been my experience, but as I said above, perhaps I told
it to make me an admin during installation -- I don't recall for sure.
