Strange behaviour in Windows 7

Many thanks for your answer ... and your time
As i suspect that something went wrong in the User management of my Window system, I tried to have an "extensive" view of the situation

1) When I boot, I am prompted with 5 icons to choose from
They are (frpom left to right
   - Admin
   - Serge Fleury
   - Serge
   - Serge Fleury ****
   - SYF

*** Don't know why there is a second  "Serge Fleury"  ?
And to add the complexity, when I select this account, I'm prompted for a password... when I never defined an account with a password, as I am the only user of this computer

I booted all the other accounts one by one, and they all behave the same way : no access to some commands to manage User accounts

So, I used "reProfiler" (a utility I found on the Web) to see how users are associated with Profiles
I summarized all the information in the attached Excel Spreadsheet

I also extracte the "ProfileList" key from the Registry
I edited this file, to separate entries for each User and to add the ProfilePath in a "readable" way

I attach both file to this post

I belive that there is some mess in the User management

What I would like to have (in a "perfect" situation) is
    3 User Accounts

sfleury:
Ooops !
My post was sent before I completed it

So, that's the end

What I would like is :
   3 User Accounts
       Admin  (The standard Microsoft built-in Admin)
       Serge (With admministrator rights)  as the "normal" account I would use on a day to day basis
       SYF (with administrator rights, as a "backup in case of Serge's failure)

Right now, it seems that the  "good" "Serge Fleury"  account is associated with the "Propriétarie" profile where I have all informations collected during thzese last 3+ years

What woul be perfect ;-)
    Admin       account     associated with    Admin     profile
    Serge        account     associated with    Serge     profile   ***
    SYF           account     associated with    SYF        profile   ***

*** These account/ profiles should be able to access everything   "Propriétarie"   profile is doing today

May be it's a dream, but who know ?

Thanksngain   have a good day

Shane:
Have you done a repair install on Windows yet?

It isnt a fresh install and you will keep all your files.

Follow this guide
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

And you will need a Windows 7 with SP1 disk, which you can grab here

Thanks
I'll try "again"
I tried a few weeks ago, but it seems that the install-repair did not recognize the disk where to perform the installation.
And i did not go further, as the backup-restore within Windows did not work (and I wanted to take a backup before tryin the nstall)
Now, it seems that it works better and i bought some software to backup my complete disk (with 2 partitions) before attemting to "install-repair"
ould you habve an ida why the disk was not recognized ?

Shane:
Not sure. Make sure to download the ISO with SP1 on it and burn that image to a disk.

You have to use software that can do that like imgburn.
