I want to boot to desktop

[Xaos]

I recently installed some programs, and now when I reboot, I get the
screen that has my username and is asking for a password, even though
there is no password.

I don't want any screen. I just want to boot and see my desktop. I tried
going into Users, in control panel, but didn't see where I could change
anything.

If you could help out, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Chaz,

Try this,

Start, Run, type control userpasswords2 and click OK.
Uncheck the box that requires users to enter a password.
Click on your own account name.
Uncheck the box that requires the users to enter a password.
Click OK.
Enter your current password when prompted.

Go to Start | Run, type "control userpasswords2" Select the account you want
to logon to automatically. Then uncheck the box "Users must enter a user
name and password to use this computer."

Or do the same thing with TweakUI.

 

[JS]

Download Tweak UI from Microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Then expand the Logon option and select Autologon and Check the Autologon
box.

OR

Start/Run and enter: CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
On the User tab: pick (highlight) the account you want to automatically log
on
Then uncheck: Users must enter username and password
Next click Apply and enter the password (if the account you pick has a
password)
Finally click OK until your completely out
