XP Pro SP 3. When startup or come out of hibernation,
on just this one machine, I get the Logon screen and
must click the User name to get to the desktop. On other
machines, go right to desktop.

Cannot find a switch to control this.

So ... How do I bypass the Logon screen???

Chuck

Start\Run\control userpasswords2 and uncheck the box "Users must enter etc etc. Then
Apply and then back out. Reboot

Control Panel | Display Properties | Screen Saver | On resume, display
Welcome Screen.

or

Control Panel | Power Options | Advanced | Prompt for password when
computer resumes.

Wow! Two solutions! Many thanks. All is now well.

Which one worked? Both were guesses on my part.

Actually I used the run/control userpasswords2 solution
and it worked a treat!
