| 467686 | 2006-07-01 09:27:00 | I just reformatted my pc, and while installing windows, it said something like 'enter the names of the people using this pc, and windows will create the accounts for you' I created 2. One for me, and one called 'everyone'. I can not find the 'everyone' account anywhere. The login screen doesn't show it, the control panel > users screen doesn't show it... The only reason I know it exists, is because when I try to create a new user called 'everyone', it says that it already exists. Hmmmmmm. How can I find it? |

| 467690 | 2006-07-01 12:15:00 | "everyone" is a system group (hidden) therefore I am guessing that because is a reserved name your user by that name that you created was ignored. | beama (111) | ||
| 467691 | 2006-07-01 12:49:00 | aah, must have been ignored then. Silly thing, it should have told me. | mejobloggs (264) | ||
