User account issues

[Gracious]

Hi all,
I did a fresh install of XP Pro on my friends computer. I inputted her name as user and did not use a password. Now whenever the pc is booted up, I do not get the logon screen showing her user name/icon, it just boots straight to the ADMINISTRATOR account, desktop.

She has to logoff and then it goes to the logon showing her icon. I am confused. Why is it doing this? I thought the ADMINISTRATOR was a hidden account.

Please advise

Control Panel User Accounts "Change the way users log on or off"

Make sure "use the welcome screen" is checked as an option.

I know how to turn on and turn on the welcome screen, but even with it turned on it still would boot to the desktop. I ended reformatting and starting over, I must have missed something the last installation as this time it booted to the welcome logon and I was able to see my friends name/icon and the Administrator icon was not present.

Thank you so much for all of your links, they will come in handy! I especially liked the tweak one.
