After clean installation did Windows come up with Welcome screen which ask
you to configure Automatic Updates, Internet Connection and ofcourse set 5 or
atleast 1 user. If yes, then you may not have an Administrator folder in
Documents & Settings because you are logged in with a new administrator
account of your name. According to me, on most PCs where Windows XP unable to
detect proper video settings and effects logged in the user with Default
Administrator account but on most today's pc it comes with a welcome screen
after installation and prompt the user to create new account.
Administrator account can be used for troubleshooting purposes. So, it is
adviseable that you do not use that account. In future, if you require the
administrator account then just click Start - Log Off - Log Off. At the
Welcome Screen press CTRL+ALT+DEL key twice (for Windows XP Professional) and
you will be presented with User Name and Dialog box, where you can type
Administrator as user name and password which you have used while the
installation (if any). For Windows XP Home Edition boot into safe mode to see
the administrator account.
But the next time you will reboot your PC the administrator account will not
appear on the Welcome screen and you have to do the same procedure again. If
you still want the Administrator Account on Welcome Screen then following is
a registry hack which you can apply to do so, which is not recommended unless
required.

Once you logged in with default Administrator account you will be able to
see it in My Computer.
Hope this help, let us know!

I just finished a clean install of XP Pro on a new hard drive. I am both the.
administrator and sole user of this computer.
In the past, I always used to see four sets of folders under Documents &
Settings: Administrator, All Users, Default User, and my own username. This
time, however, I don't see the Administrator's set of folders. I didn't do
anything different during installation.
I modified the folder options to view all hidden folders and settings, but
still can't see any Administrator's Documents and Settings folder group.
Where is it hiding?
Many thanks.
