Loging on as Administrator

J

Jack Gillis

I have my XP Home system (SP2) set up to automatically log me on at boot
by adding me as the DefaultUserName to the registry. It has been that
way since dirt. Today, I tried to log on as Administrator via Safe Mode
but the machine logged me on, not surprisingly, automatically without
giving me the choice to log on as Administrator. I went through this a
long time ago and it seems there is one other registry item that needs
attention but I can't remember what it is. I think it might have had
something like 'force logon' in it. I've looked in Help, Googled the XP
groups and searched the KB without finding what I was looking for.


Can someone tell me what I have to do to be able to log on as
Administrator when booting to Safe Mode and still have the ability to
log on automatically when booting normal?

Thank you.

BTW, I've tried using the Classic Log On as well as the Welcome Screen.

It's safer to use TweakUI for this change rather than going in the register.
