Any way to have the administrator account appear as the
defult profile?

Go into adminstrative tools - double click on Computer Management - Under System Tools choose Local Users and Groups. Double click on Users folder and then click on administrator. Click on member of Tab then click on add - Then click on advanced and then FIND NOW AND Click on Users and the OK button. Then click on OK on the Member Of tab. Then exit out of rest of the screens. Once you shutdown and restart the adminstrator shoud appear. All other accounts should be limited if they are created once the change is made.

Unless they don't have XP Pro. Home does not support the Local Users and Groups snapin.

Additionally, this will not make the Administrator account appear on the Welcome Screen, if that's what the user intended. The Administrator account is automatically a member of the User's group, so adding it explicitly doesn't make any difference.
