How To Login As Administrator In Windows XP
Home!
The built-in Administrator account is hidden from Welcome Screen when a
user account with Administrator privileges exists and enabled. In
Windows XP Home Edition, you can login as built-in Administrator in Safe
Mode only. For XP Professional, press CTRL + ALT + DEL twice at the
Welcome Screen and input your Administrator password in the classic
logon window that appears.
To have the Administrator account display in the Welcome Screen, try the
following:
Using TweakUI Power Toy for Windows XP!
Download TweakUI from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/
powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Open TweakUI and click "Logon" option in the left pane. Put a checkmark
against the option "Show Administrator on Welcome Screen". Click OK to
close TweakUI. Logoff and see if Welcome Screen lists Administrator
login. Changes are immediate and you can use the Winkey + L to switch
back to Welcome Screen to see Administrator account is listed.
Use this procedure to hide/unhide any user account from the Welcome
Screen. Please remember, you can still login to a hidden account using
CTRL+ALT+DEL classic logon method, but cannot Fast User Switch to a
hidden user account.

Pump Up The Address Bar Text In IE 6!
High-res screens are great—they fit much more information into the same amount
of space—but when your display is set to a high resolution, reading the text in
IE's Address Bar may be difficult. Here's the trick: The Address Bar uses the
same font as the icon titles on the desktop. You can change these through
Display Properties.
Right-click on the desktop, choose Properties, then click to the Appearance tab.
Click on the Advanced button. In the pull-down Item list that appears, select
Icon. Choose a more readable font and click on Apply. If the icon titles are now
truncated, you can change Icon Spacing (Horizontal) and Icon Spacing (Vertical)
to larger values.
