Hi Bruce,
The Administrator is the integrated account in Windows XP system and we
don't recommend you use this account for daily use. However, if you would
like to enable it on the Welcome Screen, you can refer to the steps below:
To list Administrator account on Welcome Screen, please follow these steps:
1. Log on with another user account with administrator privilege. Click on
start. Click Run. Type regedit and click OK.
2. Navigate to the key:
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
3. Go to edit on the menu bar and go to New -> DWORD Value.
4. Name this new value "Administrator" and then set the hexidecimal value
to "1".
Log off the current user account.
5. Now the administrator will always be listed on the welcome screen with
the other accounts.
If you want to configure the Administrator account, please refer to this
Knowledge Base article:
298252 Cannot Change the Password for the Administrator Account in User --
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=298252
By default, the Administrator is not listed in Welcome Screen and Users in
the Control Panel. In addition, I would like to let you that we don't
recommend migrating admin to other users as you are unable to grant rights
when using different installation of Windows XP.
Best regards,
Terry Liu

60I just upgraded to WinXP from Win2K
60I had 2 useraccounts
60Admin
60User1
60
60When I upgraded, I logged in using admin, and then changed PW for USER1,
60ever since, I have NOT seen ADMIN on the login, and I do NOT see it in the
60USERS when I go to control panel.
60
60What happened?
60Is there a way I can migrate ADMIN files structure over to USER1?
60Is there a way I can also grant rights or what ever to somebody when the
use
60a different install of XP on the same system?
60
60Thanks
60Bruce
