I screwed up my user list, and can't log in to the user I want

[Kitten Wrangler]

I know I've done something wrong. I can't quite pinpoint what it is, and I have even less chance of solving it.

I am the one and only user of my iBook, and I'd logged myself in, registered, whatever as a system administrator. Fine, sweet, no worries.

Until last night, slightly tipsy, and extremely sleepy, I tried changing some icons and user names.

I went to log in today, used my usual name and password, but ended up at a completely different desktop!!!!! In Finder, I can go to the users folder, and see the user that I want to be, but it's not an option in the login screen at startup.

I think that what I did wrong, revolves around my desire to replace that ugly little house icon in the finder window. Because the icon and name that I replaced it with, is now the icon and name of the user I can't log into!! And under my bog-standard login, is that ugly ugly little house icon, and an empty feeling screen.

Any ideas? I'm going to keep on playing, see if I can make it all better. But please, if anyone knows what I've done, could you help?

Okay, there's a lot to be said for playing around, andd for religiously combing through the apple website. Problem all gone away now!
