logon probs
Under control panel > user accounts, how can I delete admin account so it doesn't show up on welcome screen upon bootup? I just want to bootup to my "scott" desktop account without having to choose between that and admin. Thanks in advance.

OS is XP Pro

Howdy:

Is the "Scott" account an Admin account or a "Limited" account?

I ask because the Administrators account is ussually hidden if there is another account with Admin abilities that can be logged on to.

  1. Launch Registry Editor
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserLis t in the Registry Editor.
  3. Double-click the Administrator key in the right pane. If the Administrator key doesn’t exist, right-click on the above tree in the pane, choose New, DWORD Value, name it Administrator and press <enter> .
  4. Type 0 in the “Value box, and press <enter>.
As per "My Digital Life"
