This is the info! The account's password was not set to expire, and
everything looks right, except that it does not appear in Control Panel/User
Accounts or the Welcome Screen, and the "Classic Logon" doesn't work.

What's the problem? What caused this? And most importantly HOW DO I FIX IT?

Now, do I have to reformat and reinstall windows almost every month? This
is so focking retarded!

I don't expect compensation or attribution, but here are some features I
expect be included in the upcoming Windows Vista:

1. Incorporate the file system into the registry.
2. Include a fart sensor (to be incorporated in the seat by the user) with
the next Windows release, and have the output logged into the registry.
3. Make ALL files excutable.
4. Execute ALL files with rundll32.exe
5. Hide file extensions from the user. Wait, this is done already!
6. Rename all files as soon as they are installed to very long hex strings,
so as to hide from the user, among others, the biometric fart logs.
