I'm puzzled why Steve (Admin) sees fewer entries in User Accounts than TEMP (Admin). It may well be something that I've done, but if so I don't recall what.

Well, I went back into user accounts and I couldn't see "Temp". I tries to add "Temp" but was told that the account already existed.

Do I went around the loop again, this time with Temp1 (admin).

Logged on as Temp1, I could see only "Steve" "Louise" and "Guest" (Off).

I realised that Steve and Louise were all that appeared on the Welcome screen, because I'd chosen that in TweakUI XP.

So, I enabled all of the accounts for the welcome screen and went back into Users Accounts. Now I could see all the accounts, and oddly I had *two* "Swifty" accounts; one admin, the other not. I deleted the non-admin "Swifty". I logged off Temp1 and went back to Steve.

I still couldn't see any account other than Steve, Louise and Guest in User Accounts, so I went into TweakUI XP. Only Steve and Louise were enabled for the Welcome screen (now there's a hard concept to grasp, per-user Welcome screen content... how would it know what userid to honour?). Anyhow, after enabling the extra accounts for the Welcome Screen, they magically appeared in User Accounts as well.

All I have to do now is tidy up after all these Temp/Temp1 accounts!
