I accidently added an administrator and now the old
administator isnt a user. I can see the old amin. files
when I explore, but there is no longer the option to
switch to the old user which has all my setting and files
Help

For XP Pro, press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the Welcome Screen with no other users logged on. You'll get the old Win2K style logon.

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.
