mt misery Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hi all, I need your help. When I start my computer, one of the user accounts has dissappeared. The problem with this is that the account contains family photo's of my kids. My wife is very unhappy with me!! Could you please help me find this account.

m8rk Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Is the account disabled?Right click My Computer > manage > Local Users and Groups > users > double click user > uncheck disableIf it was the administrator account that has become hidden, press alt + ctrl + del twice and you can manually log in as administrator from there, or follow this guide: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/05/07/u...-in-windows-xp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m8rk Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 alt + ctrl + del only works from the login screen ...if it's XP Pro. If it's XP Home you only get to log in as administrator from safe mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mt misery Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 sorry mate, Im a bit slow, but learning. It worked!! The only problem is that the user icon still does not appear on the login page. Everything else is the same. What would you suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
