When working with Windows XP and user profiles, it is important that the user has at least two accounts with Administrative privileges. The initial user password provided during installation is usually assigned to the Administrator account.

This account is not listed on the Welcome screen (where the user logs into Windows XP) by default. The main user account may also have administrative privileges. The user can check this by going to the Windows Control Panel and selecting User Accounts and Passwords.

The recommendation for two accounts with Administrative privileges is that in rare occasions a user profile can become corrupted and inaccessible. This corruption has nothing to do with TweakXP.com Tweaking Utility; it's just something that has been reported with normal Windows use from time to time.
