My user account is missing (disappeared) on the welcome
screen, and in the Control Panel>Users Account. I am
using Win XP Home Edition. I tried a system restore and
did get it back temporarily, but now it disppeared
again. When I go to create a new account and type in the
old name, it says the account already exists - but it
still does not appear as an account icon. How can I
recover this user account?
