Hello! I have XP Pro and I am the administrator. I created a limited user
account but whenever my pc starts, I dont see an option which account to
choose, it's just the administrator account. Whenever people want to use my
pc, I have to log-in with my account and switch user. Please help. Thanks in
advance.

Click on Start button and select Run

Enter:-

control userpasswords2

click Ok

Click on "Users" tab if it is not already selected

Make sure there is a tick against the line near the top that reads:-

Users must enter a user name and pasword to use this computer

If no tick next to it click on the box to put a tick there then click
"OK" at bottom of window

You can download tweakUI, and in the logon section it has a feature
that lets you choose the users which will be presented in the welcome
screen:
