Re: XP Home lost user accounts

Download from M/S a utility called TweakUI. From there you can see what
account are available and can specify what accounts can be on the Welcome
Screen. This might be a good place to start.

Press F8 repeatedly during the early boot phase so that you can boot into
Safe Mode with Networking. Log on as Administrator, probably with a blank
password. Now use TweakUI as suggested by Alan to manage your user accounts
or do this to get a list of them:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type this command:
net user {Enter}
