ARGH!

I setup XP to get everything working on it as I wanted.
I was the only user account - which had the
name "administrator".

I just added my friend Rick, and as soon as I did that
the administrator user account dissapeared and his was
the only one. I since created an account for myself, but
I want to get the emails and settings I had on the old
profile "administrator" - which is still there because I
can navigate to the folders of the files
of "administrator"

Any reason why I can't even see the profile
for "administrator" at the login menu? Is there a a way
to change this or to atleast get my emails and settings
to my new account?
 
Uncheck the "use the welcome screen" in control panel/user accounts/change
the way users logon and off. You'll get a logon window to enter your userID
and password.
 
The Administrator account is hidden as soon as you create another account. To get to Administrator, at login press Ctrl + Alt + Del twice to bring up a password box where you can enter the Administrator id.
