Missing account I have my comfuser setup to boot right into my Standard Account & this is working just fine. But when I try Switch User/Logoff, all I see on the Login screen is my Admin Account, my Standard Account is missing.
I reverted to having to enter a password at boot, but the Standard Account is still missing. The account & all its folders & files are still in the C:\Users folder; so does anyone know what's going on? | My System Specs |

CJW: try pressing ctrl+alt+del a couple of times and then you should be able to get another screen with just the prompt for the username and password.

Sometimes it has to be done several times but I have never seen it not work. when you logon with your admin acct, and you check out the other account, does it show anything wierd about it when you go to user properties?

Forgot to update this.
I found out what the problem was & fixed it.
I went into Computer Management & under 'Local Users & Groups'>'Users', my Standard Account (2nd C) was no longer a member of 'Users' (red arrow). So I made it a member of 'Users' & all is fine now. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self built comfuser #5 OS 7 Pro. 64Bit w/SP1 CPU AMD FX 4100, Socket AM3+ - 3.6GHz Motherboard ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 Memory 8.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 1600 MHz (2x 4GB Kingston sticks) Graphics Card ASUS Radeon HD 6670 Sound Card Onboard High Definition Audio Device Monitor(s) Displays Envision H190L LCD Screen Resolution 1280x1024, True Color (32bit), 75Hertz Keyboard AOpen KB-910 Mouse Logitech G500 Case Antec Super Lanboy Cooling Stock CPU fan + 2 (1 front, 1 back) 120mm Antec fans Hard Drives WD 750GB, 64MB Cache SATA Drive Internet Speed Verizon FiOS Antivirus avast!
