this appered when I was trying to figure out how to log into anohter XP
machine.

I am the only one that lives here.

Can I set XP up to skip asking for my name at startup?

Click to expand...

Go to Start -> Run.
Copy and paste the following into the Open box:

control userpasswords2

Click OK.
In the "Users of this computer" box, click on the User you want
to have logged on automatically.
Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer".
Click OK.
In the box that pops up, make sure the account you clicked on
earlier is entered next to User Name.
Enter your password twice.
Note: You can leave the password box blank if the account does
not have a password.
Click OK.
Reboot to see if you get the desired results.

Good luck

Hi,

The asp.net account was created when you installed the optional .net
framework update. You can safely delete the account if you choose. Click
start/run, type "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes) and click ok.
In the user list, click on the user that you want to be the default. Uncheck
the box requiring a username and password, click apply/ok and follow the
prompts to set up a default logon.
