WinXP Pro
Non Domain Systems
How do I setup WinXP Pro to show the Administrators
account on the login screen.
Users would be 1. Administrator, 2.Teacher, 3.Student
The Administrators account would have a password.
The Teachers' account would also have a password.
The Students' account would not have a password.
I've tried the Knowledge base, and there are articles on
how to remove or disable the Administrators account but
none on how to show the account.
I've installed the operating system on my test machine
multiple times, with various variations, but no luck.
Thanks to anyone with help.
Greg.

Greg ... the easiest way is to download the TweakUI 'Power Toy' from:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../powertoys.asp

Once TweakUI is installed, go to the 'logon' section and you can select
which Users (including Administrator) you wish displayed on the login
screen.

Show Administrators Account on login screen

You'd best keep it hidden if it's intended for a school,
even though the account is passworded, it's safer to keep
it off the login screen. If you see the welcome screen,
press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice, then you can manually type
username and password. In this case, username:
Administrator.

You can, if you do want it to be showed on the welcome
screen anyway indeed use the Tweak UI powertoy as
mentioned before.

Good luck,
John
