Hi:
Like XP, is there any way to open up 'Administrator' when starting/opening
up Vista? Because, most of time I, an Administrator using this PC with
Vista. No other folks in my household needs to access the PC with Vista,
although there are two more accounts I created except mine, Administrator.

It's so quick and convenient when using XP that brings up automatically
an Administraor/me when started XP.

Thanks for any idea or ticks on this regard.

you can have an account and be the administrator...

If your current account is not an administrator, log on to one of those
other accounts that are administrators
and go to the control panel> user accounts, and change the account you want
into an administrator

there is also a hidden "super administrator" in vista that has total low
level control of the system.
It's the equivalent of the administrator on XP that could do absolutely
anything without needing to elevate manually ...
But since there is UAC on vista, this supposedly helps you have more
security.

UAC is a pain in the posterior for many people... and MS says its
redesigning the darn thing for the next version of windows
code named windows7

Vista's built-in Admin account has changed from XP's Admin.
