If you use the Administrator account statement only when you ask to execute
administrator tasks, enable the Administrator account on the Welcome
screen.
Another way to enhance the bootup action is to enable the Administrator
account on the Welcome screen. Enabling the Administrator account allows
you to log on as an administrator when you need to, and to log on as a
standard user or as a guest account when desirable.
Before enabling the Administrator account on the Welcome screen, you
must meet certain criteria:
? You must be part of a workgroup, not a domain.
? You must be using the Welcome screen.
? You must not be using Fast User Switching.
First, verify that the Welcome screen is enabled and that Fast User
Switching is disabled by going to Start | Control Panel | User Accounts.
In User Accounts:
1. Check Use The Welcome Screen. (If you don’t see this option, you
don’t meet the criteria in the preceding bulleted list.)
2. Uncheck Use Fast User Switching.
Next, download, install, and configure TweakUI. TweakUI is a free
