I ran into a bug problem !!!
I was trying to play with "control userpasswrds2" and after
committing
changes my low priviledge user simply disappeared from XP Home login
screen.
I have realized that attempting to change user group has caused the
user to *LOST*
association to standard group "Users".
Unfortunately, XP Home have no control like the pro for assigning
again users
to group. I was disperate when i have fount this little nice utility
XP HOME USER MANAGER - Gyrus Solution
http://www.xphometools.com/download.aspx?p=2&v=1.1-RELEASE
I've installed this as shareware, then i have
located the missing account (it was available, just not visible
anymore for XP Home), then i have added the user to "Users" group,
et VOILA! I could back login using the colorful logon screen.
Use TweakUI also to make sure that this re-enabled user
is not in "hidden" status.
Hope this helps,
Paolo Marani

a new query (and I may) but this seems to be the only post I saw that comes
even close to my own problem (actually, 2).
Specs: WinXPPro SP2; Intel Celeron 2.66 GHz; 224 MB RAM
(1) Way back when I had a problem - think a blown MBR (same again as now).
Eventually fixed it and then did a back up and a system state back up.
When she blew again, I got it going again and afterwards did a confusing
restore
of the system state (Windows help on most issues confuses the hell out of me).
To tell the truth, by now I forget what all I did.
In any case, in the end I wound up with a ton of accounts, one of which (w/
a very long name w/nrs, preceded by Admin or similar), took over. None of
these accts are pw protected.
I would love to delete some of these messy accounts and restore the one
(call it
"MAIN") I had used previously - because it has a ton of desktop shortcuts
I've set up over a long time and don't want to spend months re-doing.
Any way to do that?
(2) Next problem. At moment I'm using another computer. The original keeps
blowing the MBR on its only HD. I got that HD slaved and working ok now in
this 2nd old desktop comp (as a Slave, the un-bootable, blown-MBR HD is ok).
There are several accounts on the prime Master HD and, of course, a ton of
accounts, as I've said, on that Slave HD. In Documents and Settings, each of
these accts (on both prime and Slave drives) has its own "DeskTop". I can
access these of course via Docs & Sets, but that's not convenient and not
what I'd prefer.
Is there any way to make any such 'DeskTop', on any of these 2 HD's, the
actual,
'Active DeskTop'? I want to see the REAL, prefered DeskTop on my screen, so
I can work on it rather than the current default one that comes up at boot
to the
current Master HD.
BTW, with this Master HD I do get a log-in screen but no password required. I
just press "Enter" to get in.
Any hope?
