Recovering user account

[Keith]

I'm not sure what happened, I rebooted this system and my
account is no longer there. I booted up with the
administrator account, and checked to see if all the
files are still on the system, and they appear to be.
How can I get this account active again. It doesn't show
up in the list of accounts, when I booted up. Thank you

Did you really re-boot, or did you reinstall Windows using your start-up
disks?

Log in with Administrator and create a new user account. Copy all the
data from the old account to the new account. You will probably need to
change the ownership of those files (XP Help & Support "take
ownership"). If the old account isn't even showing up, then I doubt
you'll be able to make it active again.
