"Other User" is only option after CTL-ALT-DEL on my Vista computer. I don't know what happened, but now the two "normal" users of the machine are not listed at the login screen. The only user listed is "Other User" with a blank picture icon. I can enter my normal user name and password and I do get my desktop, but what is the problem and how do I fix it?

I checked "Don't ask me again" when dragging one artist into another in WMP11 on vista in order to change all the names from one to another (to combine "the beatles" and "beatles" into one, in this case), expecting it to just do it without asking in the future, but now I've lost this functionality altogether. How can I re-enable it?
