Right now, I have two user accounts on my computer: the
administrator and my own. From what I understand, you
have to keep the administrator account. But what I want
to do is have the computer startup and automatically
enter my own account instead of what it currently
does...it signs into the administrator so I have to log
out of it then sign onto my own account. Any help with
this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jason

Try this:

From StartRun type in

control userpasswords2

then uncheck 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer' and click 'Apply'. On the next screen - 'Automatically Log On' -
delete the name 'Administrator' from the User name box and enter your
account name and then the password in the next two boxes. OK your way out
and then reboot your system.

Or you can use Tweak UI:

You can download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../powertoys.asp and when
installed go to ProgramsPowertoys for Windows XPTweak UI - then go to
LogonAutologon.
