The initial accounts and what to do with them are described in the
post-installation section of the MySQL Reference Manual:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Post-installation.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Windows_post-installation.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Default_privileges.html
Secondly, if I move like to move the entire C:\mysql directory to 
some other disk, can I do so without re-installing? If I need to 
change to registry setting and/or .ini configuration file, what 
key/files are these?
Yes, you can move it.  You should specify the new values for basedir
and datadir in the [mysqld] section of an option file.  The allowable
option files on Windows are described in the Reference Manual as well.

Default accounts and custom installtion directory

Hi,
First, if I install MySQL on a win32 system which are the default 
account and from which hosts can those be accesses? Which of these 
accounts am I encouraged to remove or change the password of? I know 
that the "root"/"" accounts needs to be changed but what else is there?

Sincerly,
