Welcome screen woes

I have a few computers with XP Pro which I have configured for a preschool so that the kids simply click on their icon and their desktop comes up. They used to have three choices Administrator (built-in), Teacher and Student. Administrator and Teacher have passwords. In order to install a few educational games I changed the Student account type to administrator installed the games and tried to change the Student account back to limited but it would not let me saying that it was the only administrator account. I even tried changing to not using the welcome screen and it still wouldn't let me change the account type back to limited.
I had to add an additional Admininistrator account with the name "Admin" in order to change the student account back.
Is there a way to get back to the original configuration with the built-in administrator account on the welcome screen?
