I had known that I can see the user "Administrator" in the user control
panel applet when signing on as Administrator.
How to log on as a built-in Guest account user?
How to show the built-in Guest and Administrator accounts in the 'User
Accounts' window in 'Control Panel' when signing on as another user? The
accounts were there before when signing on as another user.
