Did you try the instructions in my previous post? If you were able to get
in under Safe Mode, that was probably an administrator account and you will
have the ability to recover your files that way. If you can create new
accounts, you are an administrator.
XP does warn you when you try to remove a machine from a domain--- if you do
it the standard way, through the System Control Panel--> Network ID tab.
But if you use the Home Networking Wizard, you're right... I don't think it
gives that warning.
