I have just set up a system with XP Pro and all the latest service
packs. I set up 2 Admin accounts (Administrator and a backup admin
account) plus several users accounts. Everything was fine last night
but when I rebooted this morning, the administrator account was not
listed on the login screen. Since the backup admin account was there,
I logged in with this account. Under the Documents and Settings
directory, I still find the administrator directory with all it's
files. If I try to recreate the administrator account, XP says it
already exists.

It appears that the account is still there and functional but there
is no way to log in on the login screen

How do I get the administrator account back on the login screen?

This is perfectly normal - when you create another user, the main admin user
disappears from the welcome screen. To access the main administrator account
log off all users and hit C+A+D twice on the welcome screen (as you would to
bring up the Task Manager). This will give you a Windows 2000 style login
box where you can select the main admin user.

The reasons for this are obvious - the main admin user isn't for day-to-day,
but for emergencies when you cannot access any other user. Therefore it's
sensible to keep it passworded and hidden (particularly if you have young
children!)

I would just like to add that cross posting to every Windows XP-related
group is unnecessary. In future, if you really /must/ cross-post, pick one
or two *pertinent* groups and no more.

Where I am, it IS 12/3/2003. In fact, half of the globe is now living in
Dec 3. You'll catch up in a few hours.

Do you have an answer to my question?

Thanks for the info. I tried it but got "Entry point not found" error.

It may be 12/3/03 where you are, but here it is 12/02/03 and when posting in
newsgroups the time of the post will always display in the time/time zone
that the person viewing the message is in. Meaning when I see your post it
will display in my time, which is now 12/02/03. So if your post shows up on
my computer as 12/03/03 then it can only be that your time and/or time zone
setting is off.

Yep, just exactly how it works.

You can use TweakUI from the XP Powertoys to
control what account are and are not displayed on
the Welcome screen, or use direct reg edits for this.

Are you always this up tight towards people?

Guess that is how a LAME MS MVP act, they have to be a bone head. You tell
him about his time (which he explained why it was) and you still will not
answer his question, unless he follows you lame commands.

Don't see the idiot whose younger sister has to read web pages for him and click links for him answering either.

But seeing as you're full of useless advice I'll let you help him. Get your younger sister, cause you'll need her, get her to read this.

He is running non SP1 XP and using SP1 Tweakui.
