XP Admin Icon gone

[Horhay]

I just created three new profiles in WINXP and I inadvertently opted not to share my "Admin" files with the other users and the Admin Icon, now, no longer appears on the welcome screen. Is there any way to access that profile and change the settings?

I believe that it is by design that the administrator account doesn't show up on the welcome screen. It disapears after you creat one other account. It's a reg hack to make it display. However you can hit ctrl=>alt=>del twice at the welcome screen to get a login box where you can enter administrator and the password to log on to that account.

Thanks Alpha

The "double cntl-alt-del" did absolutely nothing, but your suggestion is appreceiated.

Ther`s a reg file here - http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm (No.5 right side),which may do it.

Did you hold all three keys down at the same time?

Ctrl-alt-del

Yes, I did. Why, is there another way?

Nope, just wanted to make sure, I've never heard of it not working at the welcome screen. I guess there is always a first time.
