View Admin At welcome screen




By default windows XP doesn't show the Administrator in the user list a the welcome screen.
here's the way to get around it.


Go to Start-->Run-->Type regedit , then enter


Now head up to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\windowsNT\Current Version\Winlogon\SpecialAccount\Userlist


Create a new DWORD entry and name it as administrator and change its value to 1.


Exit and reboot for the changes to take effect.

to change it back change its value to 0 or simply delete the key.
