second administrator account

[Guest]

I do not know how I made a new administrator account, I had administrator
account on me, now each time I start my pc, I get the welcome screen, and I
have to click on the user "Donaldo" in order to get my desktop. before my
pc shows the welcome screen and inmediately the desktop. How can I go back
before the new administrator account was created. How can I delete one the
administrator account, the guest account is off.
Thanks.

Hi,

To delete one admin account, you would need to log into the other and remove
it through the control panel/users applet.

Thanks, Rick:
to clarify, now I have two accounts "Donaldo" computer administrator and
"Administrator" computer administrator. But I want to reverse the need to
click on "Donaldo" on Welcome Screen to get into my desktop. before without
the new account "ADMINISTRATOR" my computer start directly to my desktop.
Any help, will be appreciated.

1. Go to Start | Run and type in: control userpasswords2 | Ok.

2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password
To Use This Computer check box and then click OK.

3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user
name and password for the account you want to be logged on each time you
start your computer.

You can accomplish the same thing by:

Download and install tweakui for xp and use its auto logon feature.

Lastly you can add the Dialog box that comes up when running control
userpasswords 2 to the Control Panel with the following tweak:

Add Control User Passwords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)

Hi,

You can do this without removing either account. Click start/run, type
"control userpasswords2" (without the quotes) and click ok. Uncheck the box
requiring a username and password, click apply/ok and follow the prompts to
set up a default logon.
