Hey. I'm trying to make a new user profile on XP Pro edition, and I'm not so familiar
with XP; am used to 95 and 98. I'm on my aunt's computer, and the only user they
have is the original administrator account named 'Administrator'. If you open up
the User Accounts window in the control panel and click on the Administrator icon,
it even says, "The administrator account is only visible on the Welcome screen when
no other user accounts exist (except the guest account), or when you start your computer
in Safe Mode." So when I create a new user account for myself, and then restart the
computer, -their- user account is no longer accessible from the welcome/log on page.
I had to use System Restore that comes with Windows to get out of the situation.
My question is, how do I make a new one for myself and keep their original one accessible
at the same time?
