in XP pro - I did a "fast" switch users with only one
user defined and I get the blue login screen w/ windows
logo but no choice of account so I can't get past this
screen. Rebooting in safe mode with last valid config and
other options do not get me out of this. Help!
 
while in the "safe mode" create a new admin account using any name.
use the "new account" name to log in.
right click START and left click EXPLORE and look under "Documents and Settings" for your old "unnamed" account. open any of the folders to use them.
 
Since you're running XP Pro, at the logon screen, press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the Welcome screen and enter Administrator and whatever password you may have set for that account, in the old Windows 2000 style logon dialog. Once there, create another user account, and leave the built in Administrator account for emergency use.
