Problem With Windows Xp User Account

I recently decided to create a couple of limited access accounts on my computer running Windows XP Home. I went through and created the accounts, everything went smoothly. When I went back today to look, I saw that only one of the two accounts was visible, so I decided to recreate the other one. When I tried to create it, I got a message saying "The account already exists." I figured there was just a problem with the User Accounts interface, so I went to Run -> control userpasswords2 to see if I could do anything more from there. The account still wasn't visible, and I still got a message saying that it already exists when trying to create a new account with that name. By logging into this account, I discovered that it is in the Guests usergroup somehow, so there is no security threat. However, I would still like to make the account visible, or at least remove it completely so I can recreate it.

Before anyone mentions it, I've already spent over half an hour searching on google, with no luck.
