XP User problem

Post by d_b »

Booted up my computer the other day only to find that it booted to "guest" user. Obviously I screwed with the wrong setting the night before. :( Naturally I couldn't do much of anything in guest mode (needed to install a video driver and couldn't) In a fit of rage I reformatted as I couldn't figure out how to solve the problem. I couldn't even connect to the internet to ask. No matter what I tried I couldn't do do much of anything because of user restrictions.

For future reference how does one fix the problem? Besides the obvious "don't mess with it". :)
