Using different user accounts

[Guest]

I use a Windos XP Professional Edition. I have created 4 user accounts for my
computer, 2 with adminstrative rights, one with limited rights password
needed and one visitor account. But I can only log in on one of these
accounts. When I try log in to some other accounts, the system states that
interactive log in isn't possible.

What should I do with this problem? Those three accounts are not visible
anywhere else but in control box's menu called user accounts.

I think you probably used the user account snap-in in the Microsoft
Management Console, or possiblly the older user account system (that you can
get to by Start > Run, "control userpasswords2").

But...
Those (especially the snap-in) are more for a domain environment. To create
users for the local machine you're at, use the Users applet in control panel
that shows the (pretty blue) Windows XP UI. If the accounts are shown there,
they will be on the log-in screen and be allowed to log in.

I created the accounts using this control panel's user accounts menu. The
accounts that I created there aren't visible anywhere else than in this
control panel's user account menu.
