Changing user windows starts up to by default

Hi all,

I have an administrator account and another account on my Vista PC. How do I make the other account be the one that vista automatically boots to? This has really been bothering me. Any suggestions? THe other account also has admin privileges.

THanks,
Adam

Well what I want to do is have my admin account not be logged in to automatically... those instructions say that I can not disable that account.
Additionally, for some reason I can not even get to 'Computer Management > System Tools > Local Users and Groups > Users ' The Local Users and Groups does not show up.

I have two accounts 'Administrator', and 'Adam'. Both have admin privileges. 'Administrator' automatically logs on when I boot up, I want it to automatically boot up to 'Adam'.

Try right-clicking on Computer > Manage > local Users and Groups > Users > Administrator > Check "Account is disabled."

The 'local users and groups' section does not show up anywhere in the computer management screen. i am using home premium, does that matter?
