How to fix Registry to allow user to logon to Windows XP again

[WJ]

System: WXP Professional Service Pack 1a.

I logon to a user account and fixed his registry [HKCU] so that whenever he logs on to the system, the system automatically logs him
off. Now I have a need to let him in again. How can I access his [HKCU] registry hive from ADMinistrator session to allow him in
without deleting and re-creating his account again.

Thanks

John

Use the load hive selection under the Registry drop-menu
while focused at root of HKUsers to load the ntuser.dat
from the account's profile
Be certain that you unload the hive when done.
