Heres the deal - I had 3 accounts, one admin account called "Administrator" and 2 other limited accounts. I got onto the admin/"Administrator" account and made one of limited accounts the computer admin as well. Hoping for there to be 2 computer adminitstartors and 1 limited, it took the "Administrator" account off the welcome screen. When I try to make a new account called "Administrator" it sayz that account is already made. Also funky thing, I can no longer CTRL+ALT+DEL at the welcome screen, it just doesnt do anything = So I cant get into the account that way. How can I get the account "Administrator" back up at the welcome screen? Even if it means only having one admin account, I must get this account "back". Im running WindowsXP Professional. Any help big thanx!!

As soon as you changed the admin account to your named account, XP deleted the defaut admin account. you can create a new named account and give it admin status, btu it cannot be named administrator. The default account is used to set up the pc, and after that isn't really neccesary for home pc use, generally reserved for Computer Administrators in offices, etc...<BR>
