hi! Every time I open my PC, it always directs me into administrator account. I don't know why but I still have to log-out just to view my created account and guest account. What could be the problem? thanks!

What type of Account is yours, Admin. or Limited ?????

XP requires that there always be an Admin. account.
Back when you started the XP computer for the first time ever,
you were shown a screen where you enter every name of a person that may be using XP. Each name is entered under the type account you wanted them to have. If you left that page blank, or enter your name in the wrong place, then XP logs you into an Admin. account.

Try this to solve problem ?? -----
In Control Panel,
click User Accounts,
then "Change the way users log on or off",
check mark both items--
"Use Welcome Screen", and
"Use Fast User Switching"
