No joy.

To recover your old files and folders, take a look at this article.

How to copy data from a corrupted user profile to a new profile in Windows
XP

Not being able to launch the User Accounts applet in Control Panel isn't a
good sign. Locate the following file and see if it launches User Accounts.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\nusrmgr.cpl
Nope.

If that doesn't work, you can create a new user account in the Local Users
and Groups console by double clicking the Users folder, right clicking an
open spot in the right hand pane, and selecting "New user" from the menu. You
would then have to make the account a member of the Administrators group.
Yes.

Getting back to the problem with Control Panel, if you find additional
problems you might consider running System Restore to take your computer back
to a time before the BSOD happened. If that still doesn't fix the problem you
may have to run a repair installation of XP.

The more I tinker wit this, the more hairy spiders I discover. There's not a
lot of stuff on this box. I think I'll copy off what I can, and do a fresh
install of XP. Now if I can find my SP2 disk.....

Again, thanks for all your time and thought to get me this far.


You're welcome. Good luck with the reinstall.
