User Account not listed on welcome screen

OK I'm using XP Home edition and today when I turned in my computer the welcome screen came except there were no user accounts listed. When I restarted in safe mode the administrator account came up but mine was still missing. Looking in the administrator's account under user accounts in the control panel I the Administrator is listed, The Guest account is listed as off(which it always has been) and my account is again missing. However when I type "control userpasswords2" into run my account is listed along with the Administrator and is listed as a debugger user. I also found that at the welcome screen if I hit ctrl+alt+delete twice I get a separate logon window that requires me to type both my name and password and through there I can access my account. Any ideas of what to do. i didn't change anything from the last time I logged on, everything is the same. Will restoring the computer to an earlier date fix this?

Thanks in advance.

You could try a system restore; it might work.
First I would try TweakUI though, get it here >> http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Then go control panel > tweakui > and click on 'Logon' in the left column; it should have a list of the user accounts, and whether to show them on the welcome screen.

 

yep that did it thanks
