How to add another user without losing access to Administrator



I use Windows XP Professional which was pre-installed on my computer. I've
been the only one using my computer so I left the start up identity as
Administrator. However, somebody else will be using the computer in future.
When I try to add a user, it says I have to have one person as an
administrator, so I tried to put myself as administrator under my name and
the other person as limited access. But even when I make myself the
administrator, everything I did beforehand under the name Administrator
disappears. I did a system restore and got it back that way, but how can I
set up the computer for multiple users and still have access to all my
previous data and programs but limited to me?
