Error Message: The Username Cannot Be Found (193615)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 98
- Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q193615 SYMPTOMS
If you type a valid user name followed by one or more spaces in the login
dialog box, you may receive the following error message:
The username cannot be found
You may expect the name you type to be accepted because it appears correct
(because the spaces do not appear on the screen).
CAUSE
Windows treats any space (whether leading or trailing) as a valid
character.
RESOLUTION
Avoid typing leading or trailing spaces in the User Name box on the login
screen. To determine if leading or trailing spaces exist, select the name
with the mouse and see if the spaces are highlighted.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
