Subject: [dba-Tech] Administrator account disappeared


Running WinXP with all the patches. I was deleting unused software from
Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, then rebooted and suddenly my
Administrator account disappeared from the Users menu. I tried forming a new
Administrator account, but was told that the account already existed.
 
Anyone got any ideas how I can get it back?
 
TIA,
Arthur
