My profile on XP Pro uses TweakUI to log in automaticlly. Been like this for 2 years. I recently noticed problems in USERS/GROUPS in COMPUTER MANAGEMENT. I open my profile in USERS and the heads are blank and I can not add any groups to belong to. I get an error saying “unspecified error” of course.
I tried adding a new USER in there called “test” to see if the piture heads show words now, but still no good. Now I can not remove that USER “test.”
Then I go into CONTROL PANEL>USER PROFILES and my acocunt (BILL1) is no longer ADMIN but LIMITED GUEST. I can not change this. I log out in the main ADMIN and go back into USER PROFILES and the account I log into the computer with, BILL1, is not shown. I also ran “control userpasswords2”, booted into Safe Mode, and even did the CTRL-ALT-DELx2 and BILL1 shows up nowhere for me to make it ADMIN again. Yet, I log into it when the computer boots. I can see all other created accounts but the one I use when the machine boots.
So….
Q1 – How do I remove USER “test” in COMPUTER MANAGEMENT>LOCAL USERS/GROUPS>USERS
Q2 – How do I fix my BILL1 account to make it ADMIN again and show it on the log in screens again?
Thank you.
