I think we shroud close this thread soon.
In windows the word administrator can have two or more meanings.
1. The name used to identify an person who has oversight of the workplace.
2. The level of authority an individual may have over the computer settings.

A Windows PC has an account named 'administrator' and it is for use by the workplace overseer. Normally this account is used only in special cases.

A Windows PC can have any reasonable number of user accounts. The can all have the authority administrator. Only the guest many not be administrator.

Users can belong to a group that has lessor authority as  administrator.

Changing the name of the administrator account is not a good practice. Instead, use a secret password to prevent others from using that account.
It is by design. On more time. Windows is for use either as a single PC nor part of a work group. One size bits all.  The Administrator account is for the workplace overseer.  You don't need it. Don't use it.

    Me? It was the MS design to use 'administrator'  as booth a name and a qualifier.
    Did you ever hear of  the "Who's on first" routine of Abbott and Costello?

      Administrator account is Administator and the new account I made also has Administrator next to it's name.  So now do I have two Administrator accounts?

      The Administrator account is named Administrator, and is an administrator as opposed to a user.
      The new account is named what you named it, and is also an administrator.

      I had old the OP:

      Quote

      This is also called 'Symbol Overload', where a single token uses two definitions  in one context.

      However, if you ask anybody to define 'Symbol Overload', they come back with :
      What do usu mean by 'Symbol' and in what context?
      What kind of ;Overload' do you refer to?


      I give up. ::)

      You can give up if you like but the SystemOverload issue you mention never happened...
