Hi Peter. See the link below about a possible solution. Basically what you did was
revoked your user right to logon locally. However that in no way should prevent you
from reinstalling the OS if necessary. Usually it is easiest to boot install disk
from cdrom. If it comes to a reinstall, you may want to skip the format and reinstall
into existing \winnt folder that will be detected during the installation process.
That should leave your data intact as long as none of it is encrypted with EFS and
you have do not have a backup key. You will have to reinstall the service pack you
used, all critical updates detected at Windows Update site, and all the software on
top of themselves [reinstall into same folders]. A new profile will be created for
you when you first logon, but your old one should still be available under documents
and settings folder. --- Steve
