Press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice, at the Welcome Screen, with no other users logged
on. You'll get the old Win2K style logon. Once you're logged in, to enable
the Administrator account on the new Windows XP logon screen, visit my web
site, www.dougknox.com and go to the Windows XP section. Follow the link
for Enable Administrator Account ......

This small VB Script will make the registry change necessary for the
Administrator account to be available on the Welcome Screen.
