Can't Stop Computer From Logging In As Administrator

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I just reformated and installed Win XP Pro. I'm the only user.
I'm not connected to a network.
When it stops for "who is using this computer", I put my name in.
I never give a password for Administrator.

The computer boots into Administrator everytime.
It never did this before. I don't know what I did to cause this.
I can't figure out how to get it to boot into by name and not
the Administrator.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Download the Windows XP Tweak UI from Microsoft.

In the UI, go Logon > Autologon
Make sure this is unchecked if you want to view the Welcome screen

If you are looking for a more secure way to log on...
Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Change the way users log on
There are multiple settings you can adjust to change the way your computer
logs on.

Depending on which version of windows you have, you can also go to Start >
Run and enter "control userpasswords2" (without quotes). There are multiple
settings that you can adjust here that aren't available through the basic
control panel.
