I'm new to XP Pro, so please forgive my stupid question.
I've hunted through the help system but could not find the
answer.
If I am an administrator of a workstation (local
workgroup), the Welcome Screen is turned on, and the only
other user is in the "Limited" group, how do I log in as
Administrator? No administrator icon appears on the
Welcome Screen or in User Accounts (unless I am already
logged on as Administrator), and since the only other user
is in the "Limited" group/account type, they cannot
disable the Welcome Screen. With the Welcome Screen
disabled, I can enter the user name "Administrator" and my
password. Is there a shortcut or trick?
Thanks
