Windows XP help: User account not showing up in Welcome screen

[DonIsHere]

I created a user account using the Computer Management snap-in (right click My Computer > Manage). However, that user account is not showing up in the windows Welcome screen on boot up. I search Microsoft's support site and KB article 297221 says it's because the user account is disabled, which is not true. I have a lot of settings stored with this user account and I don't want to have to use the User Accounts control panel just to add a user name to the Welcome screen. Can anyone help?

thanks,
don

What exactly is so terribly about using the user accounts panel to add a user?

i forget where it is, although i think it is under users accounts in the control panel, there is a check box to either show or hid accounts on the login screen. PM if you can't find it and i'll try to get you a better explaination of where it is.
