Windows XP login profile Help needed

[Guest]

I need help fixing Windows XP home so that I can once again login without a
password to my home default user profile.

Here's what happened. I was doing some driver updates and after a reboot
the windows login screen appears wanting a password, I have no passwords set
so I clicked on ok to move on into my default profile. I researched on how
to get rid of this login screen that was not there before.

A website said use the command control userpasswords2 at the run prompt.
Here's a mistake I made. I deleted my default user Adminstrator account
which was called xyz. I then could not logon at all. I went to safe mode
and added another Admin account. The old profile is still there which is
called xyz at C:\Documents and Settings.

I now cannot use Control Panel -> User Accounts. When I click on User
Accounts I get the following error: "Internet Explorer Script Error: An
error has occurred in teh script on this page" No Line, Char, Error, Code,
or URL is displayed. Also I cannot get this window to disapper by clicking
yes, no or X. So I can no longer manage the user accounts through windows.
Please note this also happens in safe mode as well.

If I try to add xyz back by typing in the account at the login page, Windows
creates a new account which under C:\Documents and Settings is called
xyz.XYZ. My original profile xyz is still in that directory.

How can I get windows XP home to again 1. Use my default profile user
settings xyz and 2. get rid of the password screen when windows boots so that
I can just click on the profile icon to open windows once again? I just want
to get back to where I was before. So I need to get the new problem I
created fixed and then get rid of the login screen problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok,

I have made some progress on my own. I fixed problem number 2 now I need to
fix the problem I created for myself.

Along the way I found out IE7 was messing up my system functions such as the
User profile page, system restore, etc. I uninstalled IE7 now the User
Accounts window works again.

Now I just need to undo my mistake which was deleting my default user
profile which was named xyz while using the command control userpasswords2.
All of my data is still in the Documents and Settings area under the
directory xyz.

If I try to create a new profile in the User Accounts window I receive an
error message stating "The account already exists". How can I restore my old
default admin account xyz? I can't see the account in the User Accounts
window or the control userpasswords2 menu. I just need to undo my mistake.

Thank you
