login as Administrator

[Bob H]

Is there a way of logging in as Administrator into WinXP instead of
logging in as user than logging out, doing ctrl-alt-del twice to get the
login box so as I can login as Administrator?

Thanks

Press F8 on startup, choose safe mode with command prompt, type LOGON, use
the administrator password, if needed.

Hi

You can press Ctrl-Alt-Del twice at the Welcome screen. That should bring
up the Administrator Account.

Ooops, sorry, should have said that I don't login as user, it just goes
straight to desktop. My mistake, sorry for confusion. So do I do the
same thing then, when it says 'welcome'?
So I want to login as Adminitrator all the time

Thanks

goto your control panel, check for user accounts - the way users
login/logoff options, click on welcome screen.
thats all u need to do. if still face problem let me know

Well, when winxp loads up I get the 'Welcome' screen; clicking on it
makes no difference, nothing happens.
Checking on the way users logon/logoff, the welcome screen is ticked
already, so should I untick it?

Thanks
