'Administrator' in XP/Home?

By adding and validating a Key in Registry, we have been able to change
the Welcome Screen during Start-up so that it halts there, and allows
one to enter a User Name. I seem to recall from years ago, with XP/Pro,
that the option for an Administrator account there, but I've been unable
to do so with XP/Home. Is it that it cannot be done, or that I'm not
doing it right? We are aware of F8 and Safe Mode, but that leads in an
entirely different direction.

Were this true (not checked) provision to add an Admin account at
login seems redundant -- since the OS enables any reboot to start
an Admin account (by Ctl-Alt-Del twice at login prompt we need
not provide a user name for such access.
