I would like windows xp to start without having the password window open. I
used to beable to restart windows xp without the box coming up but now it
always asks for a password.
 
Hi Larry,

Click start/run, type "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes) and
click ok. Uncheck the box requiring a username and password, click apply/ok
and follow the prompts to set up a default logon.

Larry i was as you, did nt like the password every time i restarted.
for along time i had it that way and it was ok, for a time then things
like my computer would freeze up. get booted off yahoo get boot off the
Internet even. they where hackers and Trojan programs hitting my
computer. i hope you will give this and chance at this link, you might

< there something every good about the tweak ui you can put an
password in it that will automatily use when restarting.
give this a chance cause an strong password will help every much with
security it starts with 7 digits to 14. just write down and put it way
for later if needed i put mine on a floppy in a word document. and hide
it.i found that mine would only let me put 11 digits in it not 14 i
think its for business the last three making 14 digits.
Larry if you have trouble i will help in this matter. you can contact me
at (e-mail address removed) if you need more help. your computer
is naked without an password. this found out for my self not from the
experts so called. i think its all about people have to have helper
program when you don t use the strong password on your computer. what is
helper programs like aluria"s spy ware and there is so much more helper
programs i use some of them but not as much now since i found out about
the strong password meanings, there is so much to it that it does for
your computer then what i found only the half of it.
