Well, I made the mistake of creating another user account on my internet computer (windows XP). It has always previously used the default 'administrator' account.
I now discover that 'administrator' only appears when there is no other account present, or in safe mode so i am no longer able to log in and use the account with all my stuff where it should be.
I tried creating an account called 'administrator' - can't do that as the account already exists.
I tried deleting the new account - can't do that.
I tried changing the new account to a user rather than administrator - can't do that.
I can still access the files going through C:\documents and settings , and I guess I can copy these to the new account, but I presume I'll lose all the settings and extra bolt ons such as dropbox.
Suggestions welcome.
(Fortunately I have a spare laptop ready set up for internet access
)
