If you want to login as administrator account in Windows Vista, you can use the following steps.

1. Run the command prompt as an administrator.

2. Type the following command in command prompt.

net users administrator /active:yes

3. Then log off or switch user and you’ll see the administrator account in Vista Login.

If you want to hide the administrator account back, just type following command

net users administrator /active:no

Note : You can also use the same technique for other account name too. Use ” ” for the name contains white spaces.

I was faced a problem in Vista today. The problem is that all of the folder-names and file-names were missing in large folder view under my drive in Vista. But I can see under sub folders. Strange ? huh. Take a look at the following snapshot.

That is always happened when we hold the SHIFT key while we’re opening the drive or folder in Vista. To solve this problem, follow the steps.

1. Switch to detail view.

2. Hold down SHIFT key and change to “Medium Icons”.

3. Close the Explorer and re-open it again. There you’ll get your folder names and file names back.

update: It is also happened in XP.
