How do I get rid of the administrator startup?

Hello

On startup I get the Administrator desktop. This just began happenning recently and I have to switch to my desktop. I am the sole user of my computer and how do I get rid of the administrator startup? On my log in I am also listed as Administrator. Thank you.

XP Pro or Home?

You mean your regular desktop has admin privileges, or you run from the real admin account?

Have you tried a system restore?

Hi
In my "User Accounts" I did have the following 3 boxes:
- Administrator - Computer administrator
- Jim - Computer administrator
- Guest

I deleted the Administrator account to try and remedy my problem and am left with the last two. When I boot at startup I still get the Administrator account coming up instead of the Jim account which I always had coming up before. I am running Windows XP Pro.

Hello
Is it possible to set a user other than administrator as the default user to start at boot up?
