RE: Win XP - Deleted Users

Hello ,
Boot to Safe Mode, ( not safe mode with networking)
In Safe Mode, you should be able to logon as administrator( it's a safety
thing to be able to logon as administrator in Safe Mode even if the account
is disabled) , then re-enable the account or create a new account to use.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

<Hi there,
<
<I have an HP laptop which is currently running XP. I have it on a wireless
<network and have recently installed Norton Firewall etc.
<
<When trying to access the settings in Norton it kept telling me i was not
<the authorised user even though there was only 1 user profile of
Administator
<on the system. By hitting log off and then selecting Administrator again
it
<would allow me access to all settings of Norton.
<
<This got a bit tedious each time + a few other programs didn't want to
work
<without going through the same process.
<
<So... i was in a section in Control Panel, the name escapes me, and i
<disabled the Guest and Administrator user profiles (a small red cross
<appeared on the users 'head' icon) meaning that all profiles were off. I
<thought this would have allowed me to boot up, and go directly into
windows
<without the profile screen.
<
<Unfortunately, windows now displays the screen asking me to select a user
<but there's no icon - i'm stuck!
<
<I've tried all options like safe mode etc but cannot seem to bypass it.
<
<Can someone help me out please?
<
<p.s. there are no passwords on any profiles, i would just click on the
icon
<and would immediately be logged in.
<
<Cheers,
<Ross
