Administrator problems

[Jim Corderman]

Windows XP Pro - I did something that now makes the computer load up the
administrator screen when it starts up and I have to log on / log off to get
back to my own desk top screen under my own name. It still shows me as one
of the administrators but loads up to a new Admin. that I have to log off of
to get to my screen. Any idea what caused this and how I get it back to just
loading my screen?

It sounds as if you've got the built-in Administrator logging
on automatically. You might want to try the following:

Go to Start -> Run.
Copy and paste the following into the Open box:

control userpasswords2

Click OK.
Put a check mark in the box next to "Users must enter a user
name and password to use this computer".
In the "Users of this computer" box, click on your user accent
to highlight it.
Now go back and uncheck "Users must enter a user name and
password to use this computer".
Click OK.
In the box that pops up, make sure your user account is entered
next to User Name.
Enter your password twice.
Note: You can leave the password box blank if your account does
not have a password.
Click OK.
Reboot to see if you get the desired results.

Good luck
