SID and User Account
I am running XP-SP2. As you know each user has a unique SID. If you delete a user and create a new one with the same name, it will get new SID and not the previous one.
Questions:
1. Where\How can I see the SIDs
2. How can tell which SID belongs to which User
3. How can I tell which SIDs belong to deleted users

Thanks.

In the Registry:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
