Because of how security works with XP, is causing a lot of frustrations when
trying to run software. I'm at the point to just have all family members be
administrators. I know what security problems this will have, but I did use
win98 and had no problems then.

My question is: Can I have 4 accounts as administrators and will all these
4 admin accounts show up after restarting?
Why I ask, is reading some of the problems people are experience when
creating more than one admin account has resulted in not seeing the prior
admin account after a restart. So before I do this, I just like to be sure
all 4 admin accounts show when the computer is started up each time.

I won't create new accounts, if I do this I will just change the existing
user accounts from limited to administrator.
Using XP Pro SP1 as a stand alone family computer.
