In Win XP, once you create additional users, the Administrator account disappears from the Welcome Screen and the Users Control Panel applet. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the Welcome Screen, with no user logged on, and you'll get the old Win2K style logon dialog.
Also, 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.
