Time Required: 1 Minute, 5 Minutes, 10 Minutes, 15 Minutes

Notes: By default, administrator does not show up on the login screen. This tweak will make it appear. This ONLY works for Windows XP Pro.

Warnings: This is dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. I do not take responsibility for anything that you do to your computer that harms it or any files on it in any way.
