718532 2008-11-08 00:00:00 If you mean so it shows every time the PC boots normally, instead of having to go into safe mode --

NOTE: make a restore point first in case something goes wrong.

Click Start/Run type in regedit


. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserLis t
Double-click the Administrator key in the right pane
If the Administrator key doesn’t exist, right-click on the above tree in the pane, choose New, DWORD Value, name it Administrator and press enter
Type 1 in the “Value data” box, and press enter

Close the Reg Editor - Reboot the PC, the Administrator and your Account should now be showing
