Hi,
Here is a newbie question: I have added the Autologon component to my
configuration for the every day user and it works as it should. However I
have also an administrator user account and I was wondering how I can log on
as administrator on startup. I suspect there is some "magic" key combination
to be pressed at some time during startup.

I'm using the Explorer shell at this time but eventually I will have a
custom shell for the every day user which means that the log off button on
the start-menu will not be available.

Thanks for any answers.
 
Set Autologon to the administrator account. Give the Administrator account
component a password, and the setup the Autologon component with the name:
Adminstrator and password: as the password in the Administrator component.

During logon time (When you see the welcome message) press and hold Shift key and it will "disable" the autologon for that session
and give you an opportunity to log as another user.

I got an XPe device, no Admin password provided to me, so I can't use it.

I able to mount the USB flash card to my Windows XP.

Which file stores the info on Autologon feature?
I need to reset the Admin password to blank or Autologon to Admin
account and reset the password after successful logon.

Thanks
