  1. when it comes to the log on screen, do Ctrl + Alt + Del twice and it will come to the admin, then delete your account you made by doing : start, run, control userpasswords2 then click ok and delete it. this happened to me so i just use administrotor, good luck

    mail me if you need further help


  2. Well, you need to turn off the "Welcome Screen" from Control Panel, Users.  I think, I haven't done it in over a year. You need to look for an option to make all users have to use "CTL+ALT+DEL" to sign on, then you can enter the admin account info.  

    The other thing to do is to look on the hard drive for your My Documents folder in the admin account, then copy them to your new account.  However, you may not have the rights as a user to copy them to your My Documents folder.  They should be here:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents

    If you log in as administrator and copy them here:

    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents

    ..then you can use the files from any account you create, and they should be available in your user account right away without duplication.
