Default xp administrator

Hi,

I some how have 2 user accounts. One "Bert" and the other "Administrator".
The one I have all my info and icons are the one I would like to bring up
when I start. It is Bert. I am the only one using the computer. Can I
change Bert to start instead of the Admin?
Thanks

Press start, click run, type control userpasswords2 and hit enter.

Untick the box about anything that says users must enter a username and
password.

Click apply.

A new window will open, type your username in there (Bert) and if you had a
password fill that in twice and click okay.

Click okay again.

Reboot. It should log you on automatically.
