Thank you for all the assistance MCT it took me a while but I'm 99% I figured it out. As unbelievable as it sounds it was Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. I'm not using the classic start menu but I think if I did or there was a way of removing the picture next to the user name (same applies to the welcome screen) I wouldn't have that problem. It seems that when I remove Pic and Fax Viewer it somehow interferes with that...I came to that conclusion by the fact there's no pic there once I remove it and once there is no pic there I can't create any user acc's as I've described b4.

So my options r go with the classic start menu (might still not help cause of the welcome screen - haven't tested it), somehow removing the pic from the start menu with a reg tweak if that is at all possible or simply disabling Pic and Fax Viewer but retaining thumbnail support similar to what is described in one of these links (not sure which path I should take):

I may be a bit off but I'm extremely confident Windows Picture and Fax Viewer was the sole cause of all my troubles...as always suggestions r more then welcome.

CypherBit, i remove it all the time and it never frozes, but ok, i'll take your problem into consideration.

You could post this into nlite forum, i would warn you of picture viewer right away.

Only two components that i know of are connected to user menu...picture viewer and terminal services...keep them and you can remove everything else except experimentals.
