Fix lost Accounts panel in System Preferences
Authored by: gpturismo on Mar 03, '03 01:17:42PM

You don't have to do that really. All you need to do is going into Users --> <Account with problem Users Folder> --> Library --> Caches and once in there delete the file named com.apple.preferencepanes.cache and then login/relogin as that user.

no need to do anything other than quit system preferences and delete ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache

relaunch system prefs and all should be groovy

Fix lost userlist in Accounts panel in System Preferences
Authored by: LouieNet on Jun 28, '03 08:15:01AM

Not exactly the same symptoms, but the same solution corrected the problem....

For some reason, the list of users in the Accounts panel became empty. It still allowed me to create a new user, but that user didn't show up either. However, all was okay after I quit System Preferences, move the cache file, then restarted S.P. Even the new user is showing now.

Very weird.
