:
| I just reinstalled XP and it appeared to go smoothly. However, the only
| account that existed was Adminstrator which I didn't mind at first and
| I did everything I needed to do to get my machine back up again. I
| reinstalled EVERYTHING and created all my email accounts on OE.
|
| Then I went into User Accounts in Control Panel and created my separate
| account. It said I needed at least one account with Admistrator
| rights...no problem...that's me. After doing so though EVERYTHING I did
| as Administor was GONE and even the Administor login was gone and
| replaced my my name.
|
| I really, really do not want to have to set up all my email accounts
| again and copy folders, addresses and messages all over again.
|
| I tried changing my name to Administor but I got a message that the
| account already exists even though it's not displayed.
|
| Is there a way to restore everything back or at least make everything I
| had for Administrator be used for my account?
|
| Thanks much
