Administrator.Computername

Hello,

My machine is not part of a domain but when I log in as the administrator, the local account is not used. Instead a second account is created.

Any ideas?

laze.

is this a reinstall to a drive with an existing xp install without formatting the drive?

[just_laze]

Hey,

It's a clean install on an NTFS formatted partition.

laze.

*bump*

[just_laze]

Hey,

Unlike this example:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=91530

I am not logging on to a domain but it appears my only option is to rename the administrator account unless anyone can suggest an alternative or offer up any clues as to why this is happening in the first place?

laze.

[IcemanND]

The only thing I can think of from the info we have is that it is not liking the fact that you renamed the 'docs and settings' folder. Try it with the default and see what happens.

I had the same problem

I ve just tryed this reg tweak:

;SETS AUTOLOGON KEY

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

;ENABLES SINGLE LOGON

REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v DefaultDomainName /t REG_SZ /d DOMAIN

REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v AltDefaultDomainName /t REG_SZ /d DOMAIN

REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v CachePrimaryDomain /t REG_SZ /d DOMAIN

REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v DefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d USERNAME

REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v AltDefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d USERNAME

REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v DefaultPassword /t REG_SZ /d PASSWORD

REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v AutoLogonCount /t REG_DWORD /d 1

REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v AutoAdminLogon /t REG_SZ /d 1

REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v DontDisplayLastUserName /t REG_DWORD /d 0

REG ADD "%KEY%" /f /v ShowLogonOptions /t REG_DWORD /d 1

REG DELETE "%KEY%" /f /v DcacheUpdate

i ve just tryed and it work, but i think that some lines are obsolete

in the next try i ll notify you

[just_laze]

Hey,

That's good news! I don't actually logon as the Administrator during my installation, so I wouldn't want any auto-logon code but if the rest of it solves my problem, that's great.

Keep testing and report back or you're fired! ;-)

laze.

Useful think

LOL

if you set that regtweak you log in windows with a special account: Administrator,

but it is not enabled by dafault gh

so if you use it (and it is not enabled) you log in the administrator account without problem, but...

if you create a new account you have no choise between: create "Administrator Account" and "Limited Account",

you have top put Administrator... (the next account you have again the choise).

but... gh... if you create the first account (the one were you have no choise) you cannot log in as Administrator (the special account) because it is not enabled (you don't see the account at login)[a strange thing: you have do not see in the account without chiose only the document of the administrator one LOL, but you can see all the programs and the file that are present in your drive, obviosly you can see the Administrator's document file in DocumentsAndSettings\Administrator\Documents].

to enable Administratore account (and with this you ll have the chiose to log with the Administrator special account and the new Administrator account at the logon):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]

"Administrator"=dword:00000001

to remove (only the option at login, i mean the name of the new Administrator account,not the special one, from the list) edit: the special one aswell

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]

"nameofyouraccount"=dword:00000000

but i think you can remove the folder in documentandsetting of this account going in the provvisory mode. (i m not sure about that)

i hope that can help someone
