Hi all. I seem to have botched my XP login screen by messing with
admin status options. Now when I start my XP machine in VPC and I get
to the login screen, there's no username at all on the right side of
the dividing line, just blank space. I had previously just been using
an admin account for everything, which basically meant just checking
my webpage designs in various PC browsers.

Is there some way to reset this so I can avoid having to re-install
the virtual machine and all of my software? Please say yes, please say
yes....

Thanks for any help you can offer. By the way, it's VPC7, and XP sp2
on a G4 iBook 933 OSX 10.3.9.

Have you tried booting into Safe Mode, F8 at startup?

Where were you changing options? Can you post a screen shot?
