Just yesterday I got my computer back after a long hiatus with the geek squad. I have a Dell with Windows XP. I spent a very long time putting my music on there, a lot of it, and finally got it all on my ipod. During the time I was waiting, I did kind of mess with the User Accounts. At that time, there weren't any other accounts, so when started, it went straight to my screen. But, I added another administrator account and two limited accounts. My account, which was still named "Administrator" had all of my music, all of the changes I had made to the background and such. So, after I updated my ipod, I turned the computer off properly. When I got up this morning and turned it on, of course it went to the main screen to choose which account to access, but, my account, "Administrator", was gone, nowhere to be found. All of the other accounts, the two limited and the other administrator account, were there. It's not listed in the control panel, and I can't find it anywhere. I know that its somewhere on my computer, somewhere all my files are hidden, I just have to clue how to find them. Obviously the computer did it itself, and I don't know how to get them back. Please Please help me.

The account isn't deleted. When at the welcome screen do a control-alt-delete a couple of times. You will get a logon box. Type in administrator and password and you will logon.

When the only account existing is administrator you get it only. Once you create accounts it doesn't show up on the welcome screen without being enabled to show on the screen.
