--I did control userpasswords2, and it didn't display one
--of the accounts. So then I tried adding that same
--account, that wasn't there. It said "The user account
--cannot be added because it is already created." What do I
--do?

-->QUESTION:
-->===========
-->After installing Win XP Home, I created two user
--accounts. One was named

--reason, after booting,
-->the computer immediately logs in with an different
--account name like

--that from happening?
