Display Administrator Account on logon Screen

[Enigma256]

Well this might be a stupid question. I am running the Windows XP Pro and I get the list of the users to logon to when the system turns on. I know that if you download the powertoys from microsoft site you can enable the administrator account in the users list. So the main question is how do you enable the administrator account without the powertoys. Thanks
