Raising the Wellcome Administrator login screen of Windows XP

By default Windows XP will hide Administrator account on the Welcome screen.
Here is how to bring it up:

  • Open regedit
  • Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ WindowsNT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ Userlist





  • Create a new entry with type DWORD and name it Administrator and filled with 1.
  • Exit from regedit then reboot your computer

To restore to normal, change the registry value to 0 or delete the entry.

Good luck
