Booting Up XP

[Bruce]

Since downloading some Windows Updates, I have to click
on my user name to complete the boot up. The same as if
the computer had gone into standby mode. The power
settings in the screen saver seem to be correct.
Thanks in advance for any help.

In order to do what you want you need to enable automatic logging in.

1. Go to Start > Run...
2. Type "control userpasswords2" without the quotes
3. Uncheck "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer"
4. It will ask you which username you wish to log on as, and the password
for that username. Enter those, then click OK.
5. Click OK in the main window and you are done.

Another source of this problem is Windows requiring you to log back on after
you Hibernate the computer, put the computer in Standby mode, or just get
out of the screensaver.

1. In Control Panel, click the Power icon.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Uncheck "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby"

1. Right-click the desktop and click Properties, or double-click the Display
icon in Control Panel
2. Click the "Screen Saver" tab.
3. Uncheck "On resume, password protect"
