Cannot get Administrator Login Icon on Desktop after creating acco

[Guest mohd218]

I have always used the 'Adminiustrator' account since I bought my laptop. I

created a new account 'mohd' few days ago with administrative rights. The

'Administrator' Login has now disappeared off the desktop and I cannot log

into it to use my set desktop, browser with favourites and passwords etc. I

do not know how to restore the Administrator login back onto the desktop so

that there will be an option of the 2 accounts to log in by switching users.

Please help.

 

Cheers

The account named 'Administrator' is still there

(but hidden once you created that second account).

 

If you want this account displayed on the Welcome screen along with

your new account then download and install TweakUI.

Power Toy's - Tweak UI from Microsoft:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

 

Once you start TweakUI, click on the 'Login' option.

(which is located near the bottom of the list displayed on the left side)

 

Now in the 'Settings' box on the right side

check the 'Show "Administrator" on Welcome screen' box.

Next click the 'Apply' button and then 'OK' to exit TweakUI.

The next time you boot you should see the Administrator account.

First off, at the Welcome screen, hit the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys twice.

Enter Administrator in the User name box and any password you've set for

this account to log in.

 

Moving on, you might want to consider saving the Administrator account for

emergency use only. You can copy the files from the Administrator account

into your new account by following the procedure outlined here.

Note: You'll need to create a third admin account to complete the procedure.

That account can be deleted once you're done.

 

If you're determined to have the Administrator account available on the

Welcome screen take a look at these articles.
