Once you create an alternate userid, by default windows doesn't display Administrator on the Welcome screen (for security purposes). So do either one of two things
1. Create a new account (or modify the one you created) to assign it Administrator rights (using Control Panel->User Accounts) so it then files/folders needing admin privilege
2. Select the accounts you want displayed on your Welcome screen. Download tweakui from here. It installs itself in C:\Windows\system32. Run it and then just select which accounts (e.g. to show Administrator) on Welcome screen
