I want to turn off user accounts so I can access my administrator account and settings.
I set up user accounts on my computer thinking I could continue to access my administrator account and settings, but it does not show up with the other accounts. How do I turn off user accounts and access my administrator settings? 1 person needs an answerI do too

You don't need to "turn off" other user accounts. You apparently have XP Pro or Media Center and were using the built-in Administrator account for your daily work (not recommended). Now that you have created a second administrative user, the built-in Administrator account is hidden from the Welcome Screen. This is by design. As long as you have one other administrative user account on the system so you can get into Windows in an emergency, you can continue using the built-in Administrator for your regular account. Simply enable it on the Welcome Screen per: Enable Administrator account on Welcome Screen - http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_admin_ok.htm MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
