Login

[Guy Delaney]

I am a single user living alone and have no need to use a password. I have
therefore set a null password, but my computer still stops and I have to
click on the Administrator user name in order to continue booting. How can I
set my computer to boot directly into Windows XP without stopping at the
login screen?

.. Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.
.. Type in the following:
control userpasswords2
.. now click OK
.. In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the
primary logon.
.. Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." box.
.. Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the selected
users password.

Click OK.
The changes will work the next time you restart your computer.
