Vista - Disabling Administrator Option at Startup

When I originally installed and setup Vista Home Premium I setup up just one
account. When starting up it booted right to my desktop. Now after messing
around trying to learn about Vista I have 2 options at startup, my account
and Admimistrator. I simply want to eliminate the Admimistrator option so I
can boot right to my desktop as I have "No" security risks. I've tried
numerous times through my account which is setup as administrator and also
choosing the Administrator option and trying through that. No good. Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks.

See tip 9.

Run this command from an elevated command prompt

net user administrator /active:no

Dear Len

My advice would be to investigate, then master the registry setting
AutoAdminLogon
