Thanks for your valuable comments. Issue solved using renaming the utilman.exe to cmd.exe and using netuser command at logon.
Curious then, why did you select the answer that you selected - the Utilman trick was illustrated in the video I told you to watch?

In my opinion, since I posted my comment BEFORE you posted your comment, regardless of how you found the solution, I should be credited with the answer. Certainly not a post that was NOT in fact your answer. (This holds true for any post - I don't know if it's a "rule" on EE - but I think it should be - if your solution was posted before you stated the issue was resolved, then the person who posted it deserves the credit).
