Unhide User Account by SCP1
I have accidentally hidden my User Account. It is still there as I can see if from inside my files, but I cannot see it when I navigate to Users directory, it just shows "Public". I accidentally hit Hidden on file properties thinking it would unhide everything. I have gotten the file folders to unhide, but I cannot figure out how to unhide the actual user. Help

Password not recognized after sleep or screen saver. by Sakeopete
I'm having a problem accessing my laptop which is running Vista Home Premium. It keeps saying it does not recognize my password which I had used to access it only minutes beforehand. I know my caps lock button isn't on. When I reboot my computer I log in to my admin account with no problems. It happens when my laptop goes to sleep or my password protected screen saver goes on. -- Sakeopete
