| 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.
