.. 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.

How to Enable Automatic Logon in Windows

 

[Guest]

Thanks for the help Kaylene/ I have struggled with this for the last week, my system was nearly as you descibed, after a little rummaging , a pop up asked which user I wanted to log on first and this solved my 'login Problem' see earlier post in list, same date;

How can I get all the users to appear on the first boot up screen or better still how can I get automatic boot into 'User2' so I do not have to mess about with login etc. I am a single user with 2 computers on an occasional network. (although XP might think otherwise) Help most appreciated

Hi there,

Thanks for posting here! (Thanks for your helps here, Kaylene!!!)

I understand that you may want to configure your Windows XP client to
automatically log on using the account "User2". If I misunderstood, please
feel free to let me know.

Kaylene's suggestion should help to achieve this goal. From your last
reply, it appears that Windows XP client logs on automatically using a
incorrect account. Thus, I would like to confirm whether you type the user2
account and the corresponding password when you are prompted to choose the
account for automatic logon. You may re-try the steps as Kaylene's
suggestion and input the user2 acount and password when are prompted and
test the this issue again. If the behavior is not the one you need, would
you please describe your requirements in detail? Your efforts are
appreciated!

In the meantime, I would like to confirm whether the "first boot up screen"
in your post means the Welcome Screen. If so, I am afraid that the Welcome
Screen will not appear if you enable auto-logon on the client.

If there is anything unclear of if you have any concerns, please feel free
to post back!

Have a great day!

| Thanks for the help Kaylene/ I have struggled with this for the last
week, my system was nearly as you descibed, after a little rummaging , a
pop up asked which user I wanted to log on first and this solved my 'login
Problem' see earlier post in list, same date;-
first screen, (Administrators?) however all my details and setting are on
'User2' , (with full Admin rights) but this login does not appear on the
first screen although it is in the 'Users' list. Therefore I have to
immediatly 'logoff' from this first screen and then the option appears to
login under 'User2' on the next screen, whereupon my settings are loaded.
What a nuisance to logoff to logon!

How can I get all the users to appear on the first boot up screen or better
still how can I get automatic boot into 'User2' so I do not have to mess
about with login etc. I am a single user with 2 computers on an
occasional network. (although XP might think otherwise) Help most
appreciated.
