Enable Administrator in Welcome Screen

When you install Windows XP an
Administrator Account is
created (you are asked to
supply an administrator
password), but the
"Welcome Screen" does not give you the option to
log on as Administrator
unless you boot up in Safe
Mode.
First you must ensure that
the Administrator Account is enabled:
1. Open Control Panel
2. Open Administrative
Tools
3. Open Local Security
Policy 4. Expand Local Policies
5. Click on Security Options
6. Ensure that Accounts:
Administrator account
status is enabled. Then follow the
instructions from the
"Win2000 Logon Screen
Tweak" ie;
1.Open Control Panel
2. Open User Accounts 3. Click Change the way
users log on or log off
4. Un-tick Use the
Welcome Screen
5. Click Apply Options
You will now be able to log on to Windows XP as
Administrator in Normal
Mode. Another Method By default windows XP
doesn't show the Administrator in the user list at the welcome screen.
Here's a way to get around
it. Now head up to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\Software\Microsoft
\WindowsNT
\CurrentVersion\
Winlogon
\SpecialAccounts\Userlist create a new DWORD entry and name it as Administrator and change its value to 1. exit and reboot for the
changes to take effect.
To change it back change
its value to 0 or simply
delete the key.
