startup to desktop without password

[Tiberius]

Hi tony 2 steps to fix this:

1) go to control panel and user accounts, find your account and remove the
password
or if you DONT want to remove the password do only the following second step

2) in the search box after you press start write the following:

control userpasswords2 and press enter

there you will uncheck the option that says "users must enter a password"
and press apply
then it will give you a box to enter which use you want to auto- login..
so enter the name, and the passwords if you have retained a password,
if you removed the password, just leave it blank

tell me if this helps

I've just got this computer and am working with Vista for the first
time. So far, so good. One thing that annoys me though: when I turn on
the CP in the morning, instead of it going directly to desktop, it stops
and asks me for a password and then continues on to desktop. My old XP
went directly to desktop on start up. I am the only one who uses this
computer and have no need for a password. How do I turn the feature
off? Thanks in advance.

You can set the machine to boot directly to your user accounts' Desktop
by clicking on the Start Orb and typing in the Search box (or the Run
box if you're using the Classic Start Menu):

control userpasswords2 [enter]

Uncheck "users must enter a password...", click Apply. You'll be
presented with a box to select the user account to which you want to
automatically log onto (yours) and the password. If you didn't assign a
password, leave it blank.
