Dear sirs
I have a very strange problem with WindowsXP , it is as the follow :
I was making two accounts on windowsXP , then I decided to
make windows load without prompting me for the user name &
password when it starts loading ,I run the MMC then,deleted
the two accounts and made the administrator account
disabled
then,when I tried to login again the login page appeared
to me with the message "click the user you want to login by
" but there are nothing at all, and I can not login to
windows ,please tell me what can I do to fix this problem
and what can I do to make the windows load without
prompting for account name and password ?
thanks..

ok well, first of all, you have just stopped yourself from
getting in to fix the problem.
I have never encountered this before of course but you may
need to restore to factory contents to get it fixed :S
as for stopping winXP from promting username / password
combo, prompting is what xp does and so far as I know there
is no way to stop it.
Best thing you can do is have it set to welcome screen so
that you do not need to type anything in and then remove
the password from your administrators account
This will remove the need to type in a password for your
"account"
The reason xp seems to have this problem is BECAUSE of the
welcom screen feature. It means that XP has no "default"
user as does the '95 which I am typing from (laptop died,
long story
) anywho...a '95 computer has to be TOLD to
create a user and startup at the login page... it requires
you to go through the process of telling the computer that
every user is required to have its own personalised desktop
and start menu and that the users are to be password
protected
WinXP on the other hand, comes pre-made with the following
users that I have discovered on my system:
Administrator: this appears to be the template for your own
user as I have never managed to gain access to it and it
does not appear on the welcome screen
Guest: This user is a ready-made limited access user and
you have the ability to (de)activate it
right, now systems like the '95 only come with the default
user which will also prove to be the template later on.
you have to activate users and passwords in oreder to get
your own personal space.
XP, on the other hand, is more user compatable and prepared
well for situations where everybody will need their own
user.
Users and passwords is automatically activated so that a
beginner can easily learn how to be their own system
administrator... Its easier if you learn the hard way...
because users and passwords is activated within the system
there does not seem to be a default user as there is with
'95 because of the WELCOME SCREEN
the welcome screen would have trouble showing a "cancel"
button to take you to the default user and therefore shows
only active users.
Now that I have raved on I will apologise as that was
completely useless... my parents wont listen to me u c...
The problem you are faced with now is having no access to
an admin user to fix this which could be quite simple
just switch off the welcome screen feature
