Single User XP Pro

[Cal]

Sharon F (or others) ...
It is possible that I am not stating my question correctly. I have a friend
with XP pro and his computer just boots up - no log on screen, no All Users,
Default User, etc., and the default Administrator only comes up with
Ctrl-Alt-Del.
Thanks ... Cal

Thanks Doug - love your site!

.... Any clue what happens to existing data or files created by current
