Did you per-chance happen to name that account using special characters? I am not talking about renaming the account, but when creating it to begin with using special characters? Firefox and other programs cannot access accounts created with special characters...you can create one with normal characters, then go back into the control panel and rename them later. Reason is, is that the Documents and Settings folder created for that account must be created using normal characters.
In other words, the Documents and Settings folder for example must be:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username
not...
C:\Documents and Settings\ÙşĕŗŇāmę
Just thought that might be the case as I found this out the hard way!
However, once you create a new account within the control panel, naming it with normal characters, you can then go back and rename it with special ones....it will only rename your My Documents folder, and not the Documents and Settings.
Try deleting the account and starting over...though in some cases if the Default User folder (folder used to create all new accts) under Documents and Settings has been corrupted, you can always try and copy/paste all the folders under the Admin folder to Default User. Admin folder is only accessible when you login as the main Administrator. However, you may have problems copying all files from that directory if you are logged in as the main Admin. (User.dat for example)
To login to the main Admin account without going to Safe Mode, logout...then hold CTRL ALT, and press DEL twice.
