Answer 11

As an administrative user or as the user "administrator"?

what's the difference between those two.

Answer 13

The level of privileges you have. An administrative account can do quite a bit more than a standard user, but they are still limited when compared to the abilities of the "administrator".

You could always try an elevated command prompt, this would allow you to run as an admin and not have to log out.

Answer 16

If this was automatically crated by an upgrade or repair install, there is usually a cleanup added to the Programs and Features (Add/Remove Programs) that will delete the old files for you.
