    You can view & change your accounts via Control Panel > User Accounts

    Since this just happened it is possible a System Restore may fix the problem.

    try this via Start > Run > (type in):

    %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

    & choose a point back a few days. i.e.(before the problem)

    I would suggest going into System Restore via right click My Computer then click Properties then System Restore.

    Turn it off. You will be told you will loose all restore points: OK

    Then: Turn it back on & set a Restore Point.

    Beyond that do you have Adaware & or Spybot?

    Do you have a Firewall & AntiVirus running?

    Here are some good tips from owen:

    Instructions

    Go into User Accounts via Control Panel & tell us what you see there as far as Accounts & Status i.e. Admin or limited.

    I have no messenger

    Anyway: did you try other restore points?

    Also perhaps:

    Make sure Fast User Switching is turned on.
    Start | Settings | Control Panel | User Accounts |
    Click Change the way users log on or off |
    Use Fast User Switching
