XP Pro Administrator login

In Windows XP Pro and you are not connected to a windows Server domain, if you create a user account then the administrator login is no longer showing as a login option.

One way to get to the administrator login is to log off then press CTRL ALT DEL key sequence twice then you can change the user to administrator.

If you wan to have just the administrator account as the sole login and you have another unused login. You muse delete the unused logins so that only the administrator account is the sole login account.

Login as administrator
then click
Start
Right Click My Computer
Click Manage
click Local Users and Groups
click Users

then right click on the user accounts you wish to delete and select delete. (Only do this if you wish to loose any settings or data on that user account)

If administrator is the sole login account the PC will now start up straight into the administrator login.
