When I startup my computer, it always opens to user account
"Administrator". Is there a way to change a setting so that
at startup, the computer opens a user account other than
"Administrator". I currently have multiple user accounts
listed under computer administrator setting but my system is
always "Administrator".
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 for this computer" box, click on the account you
want to have logged on automatically.
Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer".
Click OK.
In the box that pops up, make sure the account you clicked on
earlier is entered next to User Name. It should not be set to
Administrator.
Enter your password twice.
Note: You can leave the password box blank if the account does
not have a password.
Click OK.
Reboot to see if you get the desired results.
If you prefer, you can download a Microsoft program called
TweakUI and configure it accordingly. Take a look here for more
info on that procedure:

You can also use TweakUI to add the Administrator account to
the Welcome Screen.
Keep in mind that if you want to prevent Windows from
automatically logging an account automatically, simply leave
the check mark in the box next to "Users must enter a user name
and password to use this computer". You can also selectively
bypass automatic logon by holding down the Shift key while
Windows is starting up. Depending on how your system is
configured you'll either see the Welcome Screen or the Logon to
Windows dialog box.
Good luck
