    To restore your operating system to the original installation default security settings, follow these steps:

    Open a new Command Prompt:

    In Windows XP

    Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER.

    In Windows XP, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose

    Next steps After you run this Microsoft Fix it (or complete these manual steps), standard user accounts may no longer appear on the log on screen when you start your computer or try to switch users. This occurs because standard user accounts are removed from the Users group when you reset Windows security settings. To add the affected users accounts back to the Users group, follow these steps:

    Click Start, and then All Programs. Or click Programs.

    Click Accessories, and then click Command Prompt (Windows XP). Or right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run As Administrator (Windows Vista).

    In the Command Prompt window, type net users and then press ENTER. A list of user accounts is displayed.

    For each accountname listed in the Command Prompt that is missing from the log on or switch user screen, type the following command and then press ENTER:

    net localgroup users accountname /add

    Now go to the "Did this fix the problem?" section.
