How do you bypass the password box in XP Home, so your desktop comes up
immediately after the Welcome screen??

Hi,
Go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/top10faqs.htm
"Why can't I auto logon anymore?"
If you don't have the ASP.Net problem, start at
"1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok."

Hope this helps,
Don

Thanks for the reply Don. I apologize to all for not searching the database
before I sent this request. I did find several other threads that deals with
this problem. I also did go thru the Start/Run/control userpassword2
command. It resulted in locking me out of the computer. I had to do a safe
start and System Restore to get back in. Don't know what I did wrong, but am
now too chicken to try again. The instructions I had told me to remove put a
password in and I may have selected the wrong user name or something, I am
not sure. But after rebooting it came back to the log on with password
screen, the user was Administrator, not my name, and it would not accept the
only password I use.

Harry,
TweakUI, part of Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP, has a check box for
autologon. You might give it a try. Go to
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx and
look for TweakUI on the right side.
