Don't know if anyone has posted this or not, but here it is anyway:

To Make the Administrator Account Always Visible on the Login Screen

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserLis t
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: DWORD// Value Name: Administrator
Setting for Value Data: [0 = Disabled / 1 = Enabled]
Exit Registry and Reboot

Is this XP Home or Pro?

both

Thank you

your very welcome...

Did this successfully on one XP Home SP2, but it does not appear on the welcome screen. If I change the way "users log on" and type "Administrator" into the logon, it says account restrictions apply. But safe mode is as per usual.

Any fix for this, Mr Jazzman?:-k

try enabling fast user switching..

Did that ......Hahahahahhahaha! LOL****

did you reboot? It may not work on all depending on service packs, but it has worked on every one I've done...but then, your special
