When I open the User Accounts applet in Control Panel, it shows my user
account (which is in the Administrators group), the guest account (which has
been disabled), and the aspnet_wp limited account (don't know yet what's
that for). It does not show the Administrator account and the backup
administrator account that I created.
If I open the Computer Management MMC under Administrative Tools, all the
accounts are listed under the Users node in the tree. I'm not sure if there
are any tasks or features in the User Accounts applet that cannot be
performed using the Computer Management MMC. I seem to recall that I had to
use both under Windows 2000.
I have already reconfigured Windows XP to get rid of the Welcome Screen.
I'd rather require users to use the standard login. Besides, the Welcome
Screen only supposedly works for stand-alone hosts and the standard login
window gets used for domain users. I'd rather not bother with 2 different
logon interfaces and just get used to using the standard one. Fast User
switching also got disabled which was just fine with me as that was another
task I was trying to figure out. I don't want more than one user session
active on my computer at a time along with all the subsequent concurrent
processes eating up memory. I also set local policy to NOT remember the
last login username. I don't want someone coming over to my computer and
already being given half of my login data (i.e., the username). I also
configured policy to require Ctrl-Alt-Del to login.
Okay, so before I started the admin accounts were not listed in the User
Accounts applet. After the changes (to revert to more of a Windows 2000
login interface), they still are not listed. I thought I had seen
selections in the TweakUI powertoy for Windows XP an option to select which
accounts to show. However, that was probably only for the Welcome screen.
Now when I go into TweakUI, there is no option to select which accounts to
show which is probably because I'm not using the Welcome screen anymore. I
recall that even when I was using the Welcome screen and using TweakUI to
include the Administrator and backup admin accounts that they still did not
show up in the User Accounts applet.
Obviously the User Accounts applet should only show all user accounts if a
user is logged in whose account is in the Administrators group. My user
account *is* in the Administrators group. It can't be that the User
Accounts applet doesn't show administrator accounts. My account is listed
and it is in the Administrators group. It seems the User Accounts applet
has been crippled for administrators since it doesn't list some of the
accounts.
