Hi,

I've been logging onto my PC as Admin for ages now. I decided to make my own
account but when I did forgot to copy everything across. The administrator
account now doesnt appear in the user list on the welcome screen, how do I
get it back??

Thanks,

James
 
Do the following

[Start] --> [Run] --> [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.

Data Type: DWORD// Value Name: Administrator

Setting for Value Data: [0 = Disabled / 1 = Enabled]

Exit Registry and Reboot

Cheers
