Re: Auto Logout after Login on XP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

How about logging into safe mode option menu and
1) Last Known Good Configuration OR
2) Regular Safe mode and running system restore?
3) If not regular safe mode, then safe mode w/command prompt only?

See if "Administrator" account works?
The "Administrator" account password is usually blank (ie no password)!

Once in Safe mode you can repair the other her user login!!
