RE: Support_388945a0 account in Win XP/2003

[<Geoff.Shatz () pchelps com>]

A simple google search yields the following...

Support_388945a0

The Support_388945a0 account is primarily used to control access to signed scripts that are accessible from within Help 
and Support Services. Administrators can use this account to delegate the ability for an ordinary user, who does not 
have administrative access over a computer, to run signed scripts from links embedded within Help and Support Services. 
These scripts can be programmed to use the Support_388945a0 account credentials instead of the users credentials to 
perform specific administrative operations on the local computer that otherwise would not be supported by the ordinary 
users account.

Hello full-disclosurers,

Does anyone know anything interesting about Support_388945a0 account 
which is created by default during Windows XP/2003 installation?

I have seen MS technet links, maybe someone knows more about?
