windows XP professional.

every time i start my pc, the computer logs in to the administrator account.
i had to disable the built in administrator account. now whenever i start the pc
a message comes up that says "your 'the administrator' account had been disabled",
then it goes the welcome screen.

i tried everything to avoid logging in as an administrator, disabling it was the only
solution, but it's still not good enough, i dont want to enable that account every time
i want to use it.

one other thing is that, i dont remember making any changes to make the computer
log in to the administrator account, i usually choose my name from the welcome screen.

help please.
