Re: how to make the administrator ID visible for logon choice?

There already is an Administrator account..by default it is disabled.

1) To enable it...Admin Tools-Local Security Settings-Secutiry
Options-Accounts:Administrator account status(near the top of the list) set
to ENABLE
2)Same area Interactive Login-Do not display last user name-ENABLE

When you reboot there will be name and password boxes that are blank..by
default your Adminstrator account does not have a password so leave it
blank.
