Problem solved; I went to "System Restore" and
brought the computer back to
an earlier restore point. I'd still like to know more about
that "User
Accounts" link in Control Panel. So far it seems that
"Compaq_Owner" is the
only name that works. Maybe I'll leave well enough alone
and just use my
real name to sign checks --- Harold
