I am able to log in as myself as an Admin user(my account)...all the other
accounts when
I click on their username and enter their password it starts to load their
settings then returns to the welcome screen(including the default Admin
Account).
And then I find that I cant log in too!
I then use a bootable cdrom to help me reset my password (which I never
forgot anyway!), I then log in to XP, and find that the other accounts have
disappeared from the welcome screen/users applet in control panel.

Running XP Pro SP2 all updates, Norton Internet Security 2005, all updates.
No spyware or adaware, clean system.

Any help appreciated!
