Actually that is not what I'm asking for. That would leave the admin account on the welcome screen. I don't want that. I want it to be hidden and access it by a "hot key" like XP where you hit twice CAD. run cmd as administrator then type as follows: net user administrator /active:yes then hit enter. that's it.

That's true... I found your solution also by myself but I thought that it wasn't what I was looking for... anyway thanks again... I'll give Google another shot

Yes it worked! I don't understand the relation between the two but anyway thanks a lot! Can you take a look also to this thread: It's the same thing but i want to be able to do it also on Windows 7... if you have any idea. Much appreciated, have a nice day!

I have been able to log on to Windows XP administrator account by pressing CAD (Ctrl+Alt+Del) two times at the welcome screen where users are required to enter their password. When I pressed CAD x2 times a log on dialog box would pop up and i would enter the administrator user name and the password. This option was very convenient because the administrator account was hidden and I could access it any time without having to reboot in safe mode or make it available at the log on screen. I want to know if this option is also available on Windows 7 or is there is any similar way to do the same on Windows 7? Thanks

After installing SP3 on XP this option is no longer available. I think Microsoft has disabled it for some purpose. I want to know if anyone knows how to re enable it. Is there any registry key that can be changed to enable it again? Thanks
