Robert,

I just saw your request and all the replies that occurred.

If you enter the command: cat /etc/passwd in a terminal window a listing 
of ALL users known to your system will be displayed. That should 
identify who is assigned the userid 1001.

DO NOT DO ANY THING TO THE FILE, just look at it.

Regards,
Jay
