On my login screen I am able to log in as a guest but the icon for the

The built-in Administrator account is not meant to be used for daily
work; it is there for emergencies. In XP Home you can only access the
built-in Administrator account in Safe Mode. In XP Pro, the built-in
Administrator account on the Welcome Screen is hidden once another user
account with administrative privileges is created. This is by design.
If you were using the built-in Administrator account for your daily
work, create a new user account for yourself and copy the settings and
data from the Administrator account to the new one. You will need to
log into the new account once before you can copy anything to it.
