 No administrator logon At the welcome screen the only login that I have is "Irv" system administrator. There is nop password with it. Is there supposed to be another logon called "administrator" and also "Guest"? If so, how do you go about getting to it? In Windows Explorer, under documents and settings there is a folder for administrator, but there is no entries under the desktop, favorites,recent, send to, or my documents. Can someone enlighten me on this? Thanks Irv | Guest

In Pro, at the welcome screen press Ctl-Alt-Del twice. the Guest account has to be enabled - it's off by default. Quote:

| Re: No administrator logon Greetings -- With a retail version of the OS, whenever WinXP is installed on a computer, only two user accounts are automatically created: Administrator and Guest. During the installation, WinXP Pro will ask the installer to designate the Administrator's password, but WinXP Home will not do so, leaving the password blank by default. Once any additional user accounts have been created, the Administrator account will no longer be displayed on the Welcome Screen. This is a default security feature. By design, the only way to log into the Administrator account of WinXP Home is to reboot into Safe Mode. For WinXP Pro, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome Screen will produce the standard login dialog box.
