I would suggest resetting the administrator password and converting the file system to NTFS to be able to benefit from enhanced NTFs security, FAT32 is obsolete<br />
you will not need to format the drive(S) in questions , in the command line the command is convert C: /FS:NTFS<br />
after taking the above actions, let us see if the above ebhaviour persists.<br />

I have a Windows XP FAT32 system with a limited use able to access the Administrator user files. I dont see much activity from the limited user but a lot under Administator that I cant explain. Could be limited user be access the Administrator user file and somehow spoof (masquerade) the Administration user.

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.

Digital forensics encompasses the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. Digital forensics investigations have a variety of applications. The most common is to support or refute a hypothesis before criminal or civil (as part of the electronic discovery process) courts. The technical aspect of an investigation is divided into several sub-branches, relating to the type of digital devices involved; computer forensics, network forensics, forensic data analysis and mobile device forensics. The typical forensic process encompasses the seizure, forensic imaging (acquisition) and analysis of digital media and the production of a report into collected evidence.
