how do i disable 'administrator' from the users list?

[GLO]

Even though i have added other users as administrators, when i boot up it doesnt give the option to select which user, it just automatically loads administrator.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoAdminLogon"="0"

Copy and paste the above into notepad , save as anynameyoulike.reg

Either double click the newly created anynameyoulike.reg or right click and select Merge.

Click "yes" and then click "ok"

Restart windows and see if that helps.

If that does help and you have the Built in Administrator account displaying on the welcome screen and you do not want it there then do the same with this below:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]
"Administrator"=dword:00000000

TIP: Put password on built in Admin account if there isn't one already.

Cheers.
