Using TweakUI Power Toy for Windows XP

Download TweakUI from here:

v2.00 for Windows XP | v2.10 for XP SP1 and above

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.



You could also use the registry editor but I would not recommend it.

Hi youknowwho welcome to TSDN,

firstly, why would u do that?

ok, bootup your computer in safe mode, at the login screen u'll see another administrator account (this one u can't disable/demote) log into it, then from there re-enable all other accounts and reset them to admin if u want (i would have at least 1 other admin account).

good luck
