Can you guys help me.

I run XP Pro/SP2 at home. I have administrator rights.
There is no network and I access the Internet using cable.

------

I can see the user profiles on my machine at:
System Properties > Advanced > User profiles

QUESTION ONE: How do I get a complete list of *all* the profiles
including the hidden ones?

-----

I have done a manual search through the registry while logged on as
"Bigboss" (S-1-5-21-861567501-920026266-1957994488-1003) who has
administrator rights. The results are shown below.

QUESTION TWO: Who do these two keys (shown below) relate to?
S-1-5-18
S-1-5-21-861567501-920026266-1957994488-1007


Thank you.
Andy

start - programs - administrative tools - computer management - local users
and groups

If administrative tools isn't available under programs you can reach it
from start - settings - control panel - etc.
