Lost a user account

Can anyone help me with a missing user account on XP Home? I am not sure how
or when the account dissapeared, but if I try to recreate the account XP
tells me it already exists. The account does not show up on the Welcome
screen, or under the users control panel. I have 3 other users on the PC and
they are all showing up fine.

If I look under the C:\Documents and Settings then I see the user there with
all there documents etc.

I have followed the instructions below, but under that registry value none
of my users are listed:

<begin> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
Look in the right pane for a value with the missing user's name. If its
there, double click it and set it to 1. If not, right click in the right
pane, select New, DWord value, give it the name of the user as it appears on
the Welcome Screen. Then set it to 1 as above. <end>

I also followed some other info I found on a Google search, but so far I am
unable to restore this user. Is there any way to do it? even if I have to
somehow delete the user and re-create it (I can manually copy the docs and
then paste into new account).

Thanks.
