User Account

Why I cannot view my User Account folder? Nothing appear in the screen. I actually want to add another user account. So far I only have one User Account which is mine. Is there any set-up that I need to do?

Im using Window XP

By user account folder you mean your name + documents in the my computer section?
So you cant see my pictures, my music and my documents?

Most probably everything might have got deleted or you might have mistakenly made it hidden.

Or your user profile is corrupted.

If you are computer administrator you can go into control panel and create new user account. Create it as computer admin. Check from there whether you can see your documents.

If all else fails do a system restore

FYI, the user User Acc folder is there but there is nothing inside.
I can see my mypics, my music, and my documents.
I have tried to make all the hidden files to be visible, but still there is nothing in the User Acc folder.
I cannot create a new account becoz nothing there to click.

It there any other to create a new account or computer admin account?

Yes
Right click on my computer and then click manage
choose local users and groups -> users
Right click user and create new user.
After this choose member of tab and type in administrators or if it does not come go to advanced hit browse and select administrators and hit ok and now log of and log in with new account

One problem. When I get to Manage from My Cmputer, there is nothing that I can choose as local or gp user.
The folder appear is computer management and below this folder none shows connection with USER.

Is this a big problem??
