Only Admin Account

[Guest]

After re-installing winxp pro sp2 on my daughter's computer, it always opens
up the administrator account first on start up. She has her own account (the
only added account) that I would like to be the default. If she logs off the
admin account, up comes the user account screen with her name and she can log
into her account.
What's going on...and is there a way I can correct this annoying problem?
Cheers,
Phil

Do the following:

Go to Start -> Run.
Copy and paste the following into the Open box:

control userpasswords2

Click OK.
Put a check mark in the box next to "Users must enter a user
name and password to use this computer".
In the "Users of this computer" box, click on your daughter's
account.
Next, go back and uncheck "Users must enter a user name and
password to use this computer".
Click OK.
In the box that pops up, make sure your daughter's account is
entered next to User Name.
Enter her password twice.
Note: You can leave the password box blank if she does not have
a password.
Click OK.
Reboot to see if you get the desired results.

Good luck
