Win7 Home Premium and administartor rights

Had a new computer delivered a couple of weeks ago. The manufacturers had created a user account UKGC with administrator rights.

I deleted that and created myself as the user with admin rights. When I look at control panel/user accounts I see myself as the sole user with admin rights. However, when I look at c/users/ I see public and UKGC as users with a padlock next to UKGC.

The problem I have is that I was copying some files manually between two folders and I kept being told that I needed administrator rights to do it.

I rang the manufacturers today and was told that they had to create UKGC as a user in the process of installing WIN 7 which I understand but they have no help to offer in sorting this problem out other than re-install WIn 7 which I really would like to leave as a last resort.

Any ideas please.

?!
Exactly how did you manage to delete the account when you were still using it?
