Customizing Start-Up

[clr7]

What settings do I change so that my desktop appears at
startup rather than the Welcome Page? I would like to be
able to have startup go directly to the desktop rather
than having to go through the Welcome page since I am the
only user.

.. 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.
