>> admin or guest

Yes. It should help. However, don't use the built-in Administrator login for
routine use, have that as a backup.

Thank you for your help it worked fine.
One other thing, now that my Admin and Guest icons are back at each startup
I also have a small alert at the same time as the two select icons appear.
It says "unable to log you on because of a account restriction" I click OK
and it go,s away and I can continue. I have not set anything for auto log
on. How do I get rid of the alert?
Thanks

Before I do this will this give me back the original log on screen where I
only had to elect either admin or guest. I do not want to have to use a
password at the moment. I only want to be able to select either admin or
guest.
Thanks

Click Start, Run and type "control userpasswords2", and click Ok. Enable the
option "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
option, and click Ok.

I used to have a screen at the start up of XP that gave me a option to
select either admin or guest.
That has disappeared.
I still open up but to the desktop and I am in the admin control.
How do I get my original logon screen back?
Thanks
