It took me a long time to get back to half normal after following your
advice Terry R. It seemed to make sense so I did what you suggested but my
desktop was completetly lost and I feel lucky to be back now, even though it
is a little short of where I was before I unchecked the "Users must ..." box.
I don't know what you did wrong because control userpasswords2 is how
you automatically log into a user account. You probably didn't select
the right user account. Here is a link to help you:
Configure Windows to Automatically Login (MVP Ramesh) -

As an aside, usually the new request for logon happens after you install
something that requires .Net 1.1, such as printer software. The way to
get back to the automatic login (no request for password) is to go to
Windows Update and install the patch for .Net 1.1. Or set the machine to
automatically log in the way Terry R. suggested. Since you had problems
with that, look at Ramesh's link above first.
