Hello. I added a new account and when i logged into the new account everything is in defalut. My desktop is clean i dont have any of the things i had in the other account. the other account was the default administrator.I cant find it on users account butif i go to my hard drive i see all of my documents and programs. Please help me so that i can get on the admistrators account.1 person needs an answerI do too

Of course the new user account doesn't have the same things that the old one had. It's a new account! I'm not sure what you were expecting. If what you are really saying is that you created a new administrative user and your old user account has "disappeared", then this is by design. You have XP Pro or Media Center and were using the built-in Administrator account for your daily work. Since the built-in Administrator is not really meant to be used for daily work, it is designed to disappear when the second administrative account is created. You can still use it for your work, however. To put an icon for the Administrator back on the Welcome Screen: Enable Administrator account on Welcome Screen - http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_admin_ok.htm Make sure you have at least one extra administrative user account for emergencies (call it CompAdmin or Tech or the like) which no one uses for daily work since you are using the built-in Administrator yourself.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
