Question Dissappearing Account
Hey guys. Well this isn't the typical issue of someone creating an account for the first time and Administrator disappearing. My friend runs Windows XP Pro. and he would like to add another user account. Ordinarily, when the welcome screen is shown, only his default account is shown (not "Administrator" but his personal account). The account has administrative privileges. However, when he tries to make another account and set it to administrative privileges, the account IS made, HOWEVER, his default (personal) account disappears from the welcome screen, and can only be accessed from safe mode. The new account is present on the welcome screen. When logging into his default account or the Administrator account in safe mode, deletion of the new account is not possible. Do any of you guys know what the problem might be? I have XP Home, so I haven't been able to help him as much
