Hi

Ok this is a weird problem, extremely annoying for me, now I'm not sure how to fix this. I got hit with a virus so had to re-install windows xp, everything is running perfectly. Had the pc on for the last few days. I decided to create another user account, the only one was Administrator which is the default. I created a new one with administrator rights. I then decided I didn't need it but would not let me delete it. Figured wouldnt matter so I just left it.

I restarted the pc, it logs me onto the new account I created, and no option there to go back to the old one. Basically all my settings stuffed up etc now and my auto fill settings everything is gone as its now a new user according to my pc.

I go into user accounts to try revert back and it only shows the new account, not the original. How do I fix this? I dont want this new user account I want my old one back the default one I made as everything is set up clean on there.

Ah I fixed it, never mind about post sorry. I ended up changing the way users log on, when it restarted i put in Administrator see if it worked and it did, from there i managed accounts and deleted the account from there.
