My son somehow Disabled the "Administator" Account from
our laptop (of course that was my account!). I see from
the help that you can enable/disable this setting...but I
cannot find and details as to HOW to do this. Any ideas!!

Try logging into the account using an F8 safe mode boot,
and then go into lusrmgr.msc (or the advanced dialog in
control userpasswords2 if you have Home edition) to
uncheck the disabled checkbox in the properties of the
account.
Alternatively, in any version of XP if you can log in with
an admin account in any kind of boot, run cmd prompt
and there enter
net user administrator /active:yes
to enable the account named administrator
