Message: [QUOTE="Nimral, post: 11246852"] Sometimes it's the simple things that make life easy :-) Indeed the kids account was not a member of Users any more. I put Kids into Users, and the login screen works like intended. It is still a miracle though, how Kids got removed from the "Users" group. If you create a new account ot is automatically added to users, and I put kids into administrators later, so the kids account has been a member of 2 groups: users and administrators. I *never* removed kids from the "Users" group, nor did anyone else, and more than that, nobody removed kids from the Users group on 2 different, completely independent machines. And moreover, I meanwhile found a third machine (XP home), where another ex-admin account is not a member of any group any more. I am, however, not able to reproduce the problem: if I put kids into administrators and remove it again, kids remains a member of the "Users" group, like expected. Conclusion: there must be a dumb automatism somewhere in XP, probably one of Microsoft's "Security enhancements", that removes users from the "users" group. Any ideas? ....Armin [/QUOTE]
