Tanya:
Which version of XP are you using? Pro or Home?

Greetings --

Once any additional user accounts have been created, the
Administrator account will no longer be displayed on the Welcome
Screen. This is a default security feature that may, or may not, be
needed in your specific situation. By design, the only way to log
into the Administrator account of WinXP Home is to reboot into Safe
Mode. For WinXP Pro, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome
Screen will produce the standard login dialog box.

Log off from the account you are using and then try the control/alt/delete
when the user accounts screen shows.

Tanya, if you want administrator to show on the logon screen, install =
tweakui for XP. There is an option to enable it. =
