Oh ****...

ok I was playing with admin rights I made a new account cuz just by default I had the Administator one, then i made another account but it said it had to have admin rights so i was like i named it Quentin, then restarted my computer just to see if i would have to login then since i had 2 accounts but whne i restarted it loaded up my new account I made and removed my old one and now i lost all my settings and i cant find my files or nothing but the HDD is the same size i just cant find them how do i roll this back if possible eeek help :<

ok so my files are still here and it appears my default account "Administrator" still exists i just cant see it. because when i try to create a new account named Administrator it says it already exists plus when i view my setting files there under "administrator" i just dont know how to get it back :[

 

Boot into safe mode and the admin account should appear. Select it andwhen windows starts go into the user settings and delete the new account. That should leave only one account.

Also, before that you could try to set the option to auto login as administartor using TweakUI from Microsoft.

 

hmm i did that and it worked it let me picked administrator but in safe mode the option to delete user accounts isnt available.

 

If you log in as administrator you should be able to access all your old files, and transfer them into the somewhere else, and then just create a new user account for yourself. - so at least you don't lose your files.

 

well that was the whole point i couldnt log in it disapeared soon as i created another, raddits: i downloaded TweakUI it worked but now Quentin is invisible i want to delete it altogehter i guess not a big deal but would be nice, thanks alot for the help i was freaking out :d

 

That happened to me once, I made a new profile to install some software and then it crashed and all hell broke loose. Basically i found what I recommended to you was what solved my problem.

Glad I could help.

 

As far as I can remember, when you delete an accout, it asks whether you want to delete all settings and user files. If you said yes, there's not much you can do.

If not, it is all located in Documents & Settings under your old username. Just copying it to your new account should work. Make sure your new account has administrator privileges enabled too. (Windows is pretty crippled otherwise)
And the administrator (that is, the account with the *name* administrator) account always exists, and can't be deleted, as far as I'm aware. And since it' can't be deleted, you can't create a new of them again either. But it tends to be invisible. If you make it show the login screen when it boots, you should be able to select it.

 

read the prior posts it has all been taken care of thanks though.

 

If you're running xp pro you can access the admin account in regular mode by hitting ctrl+alt+del+del at the login prompt. type in administrator as the account name and password if the account has one.
