Hey, so i went into run and then typed in control userpasswords2 and then i was kinda messing around with it and I change my dads account to the standard user group and then changed his password and now when i logged off, his account isnt there. I tried using the TweakUI tool, but his name still wont show up. If I go into Documents and Settings, his folder is still there.

I need help on this ASAP.


Thanks!
 
Well fo under the Control Panel and see if his account is still there. Then go back under controluserpasswords2 and undo everything you did.
 
Did you remove his account?
If you did, what you'll want to do is re-create the account.
Then log in once as the account.

Log out and log back in as your profile.

Then do the following:
Right click on my computer --> click properties
Click the Advanced Tab
Click on settings under the User Profiles Area
There will probably be a Name called "Account Unknown" or some GUID (long string of numbers/letters.

Click on that and then select Copy To
Click on browse, and navigate to c:\documents and settings\dad's new account

Then hit OK twice.

If this doesn't work (copy-to may be greyed out), I think your a bit SOL, unless you want to dig into editing the registry a ton.
