Ok, her's my dilemma.

I was playing around with my registry on my XP pro machine. I wanted to make the accounts names invisible, so I added my user account to the registry under HKEY_LOCALMACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/WINlogon/SpecialAccounts /Userlist. This is where windows records which accounts will be invisible.

Well, it worked, but there was a problem - I didnt turn off the Welcome Screen feature, the one that causes all available user accounts to be displayed as icons and lets the user choose them by clicking on the icon.

So, when I rebooted, I got the welcome screen, but no accounts were there for me to click on . In other words, Im locked out of my own system.

*waits for laughter to die down*

Now, I couldjust reinstall and be done with it, but where's the fun in that?


Any idea how I can get back into my machine without a reinstall?
