Re: XP HOME - A CHANGE HAS HAPPENED UPON BOOTING UP

Hi

Try this:

From Start>Run type in

control userpasswords2

then uncheck 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer' and click 'Apply'. On the next screen - 'Automatically Log On' -
delete the name 'Administrator' from the User name box and enter your
account name and then the password in the next two boxes. OK your way out
and then reboot your system.

Or you can use Tweak UI:

You can download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/...s/powertoys.asp and when
installed go to Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI - then go to
Logon>Autologon.

| Until 3 days ago my PC would boot directly to my desktop.
| Mysteriously, (probably from an auto-update) I now boot to a screen where
I have to choose a user.
|
| I see this as an extra step which I don't want or need.

| Can I turn it off somehow and return to the way it was (boot directly to
desktop)?
| If yes, then how?
