Change the Default Logon user name..

[Guest]

I have a Windows 2000 workstation; it was first setup using Robert as the
user with a password. Now I added a new user Bob, with a password. Now when
you reboot it always defaults to Robert as the user, you need to tab back to
the user and change it to Bob and then the password to log in. How do I have
Bob as the default user?

You can run regedit.exe and navigate to;
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
edit the Reg_Sz string values
"DefaultUserName"
and
"DefaultPassword"
to reflect the correct username and password. (note: the password for an
autologon account can not be blank)
