  Unfortunately I can't revert to the previous setting. Setting the Attributes Key back to original value does not make the user folder show up again. Strange! Any suggestions?

  instead of educated idiots that try to prove how smart they are by making everything complicated whilst actually really proving how brain dead they are. It's what happens when one educates idiots. Billions of man hours could be saved per year if they schools adopted the kiss principal. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!
