I got some advice from someone on the board last night, followed it, and now
I'm stuck. Hopefully someone can help me get back to where I was...

To fix a different problem that I was having, it was suggested that I create
a new User Account with Administrator privliges. I was operating uder the
"Administrator" account and had everything set up under it. When I created a
new user, I could no longer see the "Administrator" account...only the new
User account that I had created. The problem is that I don't see any of the
vital information that I had set up previously. My emails are gone, IE is
back at default setting, same with Word, etc. It is like I am starting from
scratch on the PC.

How do I get my "Adminsitrator" account back? I can't delete the User
account I created because you can't delete your last account with
Administrator privliges. I tried to do a User Profile Copy To from
Administrator to my new Account (Ross). That appeared to work, but nothing
changed on my computer. I still have no access to any previous information
or files!

I'm running XP SP2. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
Ross
