How do I list & identify all the profiles?

[Andy]

I run XP Pro/SP2 at home. I have administrator rights.
There is no network and I access the Internet using cable.

------

I can see the user profiles on my machine at:
System Properties > Advanced > User profiles

QUESTION ONE: How do I get a complete list of *all* the profiles
including the hidden ones?

-----

I have done a manual search through the registry while logged on as
"Bigboss" (S-1-5-21-861567501-920026266-1957994488-1003) who has
administrator rights. The results are shown below.

QUESTION TWO: Who do these two keys (shown below) relate to?
S-1-5-18
S-1-5-21-861567501-920026266-1957994488-1007


Thank you.
Andy

Probably the easiest way is to enumerate the folders under "documents and
settings"

Only proviso is that an account which has never logged-on locally won't have
a profile-folder. But in that case, it isn't a profile, only an account
anyway.

this wud open the local user manager u can see all users (active n disabled)

Or if u just want a list type this in ur command prompt.
" net localgroup " it will display all the users presently on ur system
active n disabled both.

profiles directories resides in ur "documents and settings folder".
