Preety much in the same way..

Open your registry and find or create the key below.

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\

SpecialAccounts\UserList]

Value Name: Administrator

Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)

Value Data: (1 = show Administrator)

Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called "Administrator" and set it according to the value data above.

Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.

Note: This tweak will not work if you have renamed the Administrator account.
