Added a user, but now at bootup only get the option to start as the
user, the Admin is no longer there. I really need to access the
Administrators desktop. Please?

Windows XP Home Edition?
Windows XP Professional?
Windows XP Media Center?
Windows XP x64?

Pro/MCE/x64 - Reboot and press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome Screen and
enter 'Administrator' as the username and whatever (if you had one) password
you used.
