The procedures below describe how to make the ADMINISTRATOR account visible on Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Windows XP-
Microsoft's TweakUI permits XP users to add the Administrator account to the Logon screen.
Download TweakUI from the link below:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839 afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe
- Open TweakUI and click "Logon" option in the left pane.
- Put a checkmark against the option "Show Administrator on Welcome Screen".
- Click OK to close TweakUI.
- Logoff and see if Welcome Screen lists Administrator login. Changes are immediate and you can use the Winkey + L to switch back to Welcome Screen to see Administrator account is listed.
Use this procedure to hide/unhide any user account from the Welcome Screen. Please remember, you can still login to a hidden account using CTRL+ALT+DEL classic logon method, but cannot Fast User Switch to a hidden user account.
