[QUOTE="EvenStranger, post: 1302048, member: 181804"] If your account no longer appears in the System Preferences->Accounts pane, create a new user, check the box to make it an administrator, make sure the short name is identical to the name of your folder in /Users, and the system should prompt you "A folder by that name already exists. Do you want to link it to this account?" Click Yes, and it should absorb your home folder and set you up again. [/QUOTE]
