Administrator log in icon missing

G

Geoff

I installed the latest XP security patch last Tuesday. I
downloaded and installed the patch as recommended by
Microsoft and then rebooted as instructed and when the
log on screen appeared the administrator icon had gone.
Luckily I had another administrator account set up so I
have been able to get into the computer but I still can't
get the administrator icon onto the log on screen and
hence into the account which holds a lot of my valuable
work.

Can anyone help.
