I am the sole user of my machine, does that automatically make me the
Administrator ?

On my old ME machine there was a utility that told me how fast I was
up and down loading bits via my phone line, is it somewhere in XP ?

TIA

This site is dead.

But the program I spoke of is loaded "in the machine" on the old ME
machine, It also told how much work the Kernel was doing.

I don't think it gives phone line in and out speed in bps.
