    user account does not appear on regular startup

    Locked

    by bluespiano ·

    I have Windows XP. Recently, I created a new user account. My old account, Administrator, now no longer appears on a regular startup. However, it does appear in Safe Mode. What is the problem and what is the solution?

      “Try reposting this in the ‘Q&A’ forum. The ‘Discussion’ forum is for matters of general discussion, not specific problems in search of a solution. The ‘Water Cooler’ is for non-technical discussions. You can submit a question to ‘Q&A’ here:

      There are TR members who specifically seek out problems in need of a solution. Although there is some overlap between the forums, you’ll find more of those members in ‘Q&A’ than in ‘Discussions’ or ‘Water Cooler’.

      Be sure to use the voting buttons to provide your feedback. Voting a ‘+’ does not necessarily mean that a given response contained the complete solution to your problem, but that it served to guide you toward it. This is intended to serve as an aid to those who may in the future have a problem similar to yours. If they have a ready source of reference available, perhaps won’t need to repeat questions previously asked and answered. If a post did contain the solution to your problem, you can also close the question by marking the helpful post as “The Answer”.

      Is the new account also an admin account? I can’t say for sure, but it seems to me that the default admin account generally does disappear from the welcome screen once you create another – or possibly because you use the welcome screen at all.
