How to secure the account for Windows XP users

When we use the computer, we will set up a user account for our XP, but you must not think that the password is already safe.

Security issues in the Administrator account

Q: My system is XP SP2, I have been using the built-in Administrator account to log in, I heard that this is easy to make the system attack, is this it? Later, I created a new administrator account, the login interface does not have the administrator account, The original file on the desktop is also not visible. Is there any way you can use the built-in account to log in or view the original desktop file?

A: Just setting a strong password for the administrator account does not pose a significant security risk. When you create an account with another administrator group in XP, the system's built-in administrator account disappears from the Welcome screen. If you only use this account once in a while, you can press the "Ctrl+alt+del" key combination two times on the Welcome screen, the system will open the Login dialog box, enter the administrator account and password can be logged in

Q: One step in installing Windows XP is to create a new user or the installer will not be able to continue. But I want to use the Administrator account to login system directly, how to do? If you have to create a new account, can I use the Administrator account to automatically log on to the system?

A: XP does not recommend users to use the Administrator account for day-to-day operation, if you do not want to install the system when the new account, only in this step to restart the computer in this procedure reset button (will not have much impact on the system). If you find this method too "barbaric", you can also use an automated setup answer file to install the system. However, the implementation is more complex and does not recommend this method. If you want to use the Administrator account to automatically log on to the system after you create another account, you can run control userpasswords2, and then in the window that pops up, select the option "to use this computer, user must enter username and password", and then in the pop-up Enter the administrator account and password in the Auto Login dialog box and click OK.
