Default logging in as "Administrator"?

Hi Roy

The Administrator Account should only be used for troubleshooting. Havi=
ng said that - press Ctrl-Alt-Del twice at the Welcome screen.

Hit ctr-alt-del (a few times) at the "welcome" screen - before logging in
XP.

Twice would work if it is your lucky day or if you are a Texas sharp shooter
. Depending on how fast the system is, one can miss the exact timing;
hence, one can start pressing keys a little earlier etc.

I have automatically logon, and my machine blazes through the Welcome screen
in a second or so.
As for the screen before Welcome - something with "Xp is loading your
settings" or so, I barely get a glimpse of it and only some times. That's on
a 3.1GHz machine, ATA100 etc., so it's easy to miss the correct timing.

thanks for the help.

I can relate to the speed issue, my machine flies thru the welcome page
pretty quickly too and it is hard to get the timing right.
