Computer logging into wrong account

I got a virus last night and had to reinstall XP, and now when I turn on the computer it automatically logs into the "administrator" account instead of my account that I have all my files and stuff set up in. Can I delete the administrator account so it will auto log into the right one, or is there some other way of doing it?

Is your other account still set up.
Check 'control panel' / 'user accounts'.
What accounts do you see.

Alright, I've restarted my computer since that last post, and it's still doing this! I even tried deleting the adminstrator folder and it just created a new one when I turned on the computer! How the hell do I fix this! I hate having to log out then log back into the proper account every time I turn on the computer!
