log on settings

[Jing]

Hi! I rcently bought a PC desktop and my OS is windows
xp. I noticed something has changed when my computer
starts up and the welcome screen appears. Before when my
computer starts up and the welcome screen appears, my
personal settings are automatically loading and i would
automatically logged on. But now after the welcome screen
appears I noticed the words "To begin, Click user name"
which never appears before. Im the only user and the only
registered computer administrator. Please help me. How
can I change back my log on setting the way it used to
be. - Jing

Start, run, type in: control userpasswords2, hit enter.

Uncheck: users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

Xp will then ask you to enter the user and password you want to auto-logon
to.
Or
Download and install tweakui for xp and use its auto-logon feature.

You will probably have installed one of the Windows Updates, for '.NET
Framework'. which adds a user account. Use TweakUI - one of the XP
Powertoys from (if you have installed XP SP1)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

If you have not installed SP1, the earlier version can be found at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

Once installed you will find it in Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP

On its Logon page, uncheck 'Show ASPNET on Welcome screen', leaving just
the 'Show [you] on Welcome screen' checked, and click Apply
