I got a PC that I am setting up.
I'm having an issue with user accounts.
One of the original accounts wasn't set up under workgroup.
I changed it to workgroup.
Now I can't log into this user.
I can see the user folder in the docs and settings, not no user in the users lists or welcome screen.
If I try to create a user with that same name, it will create a new user folder with "username.123-123" kind of name.
Now other users I make are missing items. for example, Accessories folder in start menu. I can see the folder in the "All users" folder tree for the start menu.
Wondering if it's a group Policy? But I don't see a plug in for that.
I know it would just be easier to blow it away and reinstall XP, but there's some nice software on this machine I want to keep.
