it can vouch for the fact that this has not been changed, and as I built my
machine myseld would prefer NOT to have some flybynight at pcworld meddle

Okay, okay - don't be so touchy. It's just that based on your previous
posts you don't sound very computer savvy. Maybe you are and you just
aren't great at communicating the situation. I'm trying to help you,
remember? And you're not making it very easy.

So, if you didn't put an Administrator password on - and again, do you
have Home or Pro? - then the default password is a blank. And again,
what happens when you boot into Safe Mode, use Ctrl-Alt-Del twice at
the Welcome Screen to get a classic logon box, type in Administrator
and press the Enter key?

Sorry you are right I do have difficulty explaining things technically , I
am using XP home and I have answered all the questions you asked me in an
earlier post too. righht now to busines....... When I get into safe mode and
use ctrl-alt-del twice i get up the task manager with the users tab openned
there is absolutley nothing writen in this box. i will be fdisking on Boxing
day if I dont get this sorted out but i have to do the end of year books
before I can take time to do this.So far windows lets me do the books and
save them and print them so its not an imediate threat but just an annoying
niggle.
Thanks boopygirl.

I'm sorry, but I'm completely at sea with what you are really doing.
This thread got very long and was never very precise. If you are
getting into Safe Mode then you are obviously logging into some
account. Your previous posts gave the impression that somehow your
regular user account had disappeared and the only account you could see
was Guest. It was never very clear.

The whole exercise of getting you to boot into Safe Mode was to get to
the Administrator account so you could manage user accounts, create a
new one, whatever. Now it appears that you *are* getting into Windows?
So what's the bloody issue?

If all this is about is that you can't see the damn Administrator on
your Welcome Screen in Regular Mode, then this is absolutely normal for
XP Home. The built-in Administrator account is normally hidden in XP
Home, which you've finally told me is the version you have.

Honestly, get a knowledgeable friend over so you can *show* them what
the trouble is. I really do wish you the best of luck.

thanks for all your help anyway. The only account that should be on this
dammed computer should be me as the administrator and no guest. i will be f
disking on monday so that should cure it once and for all, its about due for
a clear out anyway. have a wonderful time over the holiday (or christmas)
depending on what you celebrate ( or not) as the case may be. I will post
after ther new year just to let you know the problem is sorted.
