Hello:

I have two user accounts on my Windows XP, both with administrative
privileges. They are both listed as: Computer Administrators at the Control
Panel. I have Fast User Switching between the two users enabled.

I find that only the first user can go into Safe Mode.When User 2 tries to
get into Safe mode by pressing F8, he is given the option of logging on
either as the first user or as administrator. His own name or icon doesn't
show on the Safe Mode logon window

Why would this be?

Thanks in advance:

-Eli

Are you sure the account is administrative...

In the "Logon" screen - scroll down with your mouse to make other logins
visable.

You're such an idiot, Andrew. It doesn't matter. The OP only needs to
use his mouse scroll button and scroll down to see all the accounts.
