log on password window

[Hash]

Hello

I use xp sp2 home and outlook 2003 sp2.

After I start the pc I get a log on window which asks for a password. I
have not set up a passsword and my name id is just 'Owner'. In user
accounts (control panel) I have no ticks (check marks) where it
says 'use the welcome screen' and 'use fast user switching' under select
logon and logoff points. This appears after clicking 'change the way users
log on or off'.

On screen saver tab under display properties there is no tick either where
it says 'on resume, password protect'. So how can I start the pc straight
into windows desktop without getting this log on window asking for a
password ? Thank you.

Regards
Hash

You have unchecked the "Use Welcome Screen" option that is why you are always
ask to enter a user name and password. First of all, check the option from
the Users and Control Panel - Change the Way Users Log on and Off - Use
Welcome Screen. Restart your PC to test.

If this doesn't solve the problem. Try this. Sure it will work. Click -
Start - Run
type control userpasswords2.

Here uncheck the option "Users must enter a user name....."

Let us know, if the information is useful to you.
