I logged onto my home PC by clicking on my user icon and
entering my password. XP started up as though I was a new
user- I have been using the account for over 2 years!
When I explored the "Documents & Settings" folder, I
discovered that my usual account had been renamed to
Vin.Study and a new account Vin, was created. I could
access all the documents in the folder but I don't want
to have this new account that has been created. How do I
log back onto my old account?

I am going to follow the steps through KB Article 321305,
but if there are any other recommendations you can give
me, please do so!

The only thing I had done was install some old games onto
the PC a couple of days before. My computer is not on a
network, I use a dial up connection to the internet.

Many thanks!
