Without having to select an Identity when Windows loads??
I know that Windows creates a seperate Administrator Identity when it is
first loaded onto a new hard-drive, but I am the sole user of my Windows XP
Home Edition PC, with Administrator rights and used to be able to load
Windows on boot-up and go straight to my desktop.
Since installing all the latest updates after upgrading my hard-drive
recently, I cannot do this. I am met with the choice to log on to my
individual Identity, unless I boot-up into Safe Mode, where I am given the
option of my own Identity or that of Administator and it is driving me nuts!
I have three accounts listed in user accounts - my own (as computer
administrator), ASP.NET Machine A... (as a Limited account Password
Protected) and 'Guest' (which is turned off) and I have changed the way
users log off by unchecking the 'Use fast user switching' option. I still
have 'Use the Welcome screen' checked. I don't really want to uncheck this
option as I do not want to revert to the classic style of log-on - I want to
bypass that completely and go straight into my desktop?!
Using "control userpasswords2" sees three accounts - my own, administrator
and ASPNET - all with administrator rights.
Can anyone please help me to get straight to my desktop when Windows loads
up??
