Logon and shutdown Windows XP Home

[Jeff]

Recently on logon I started to receive a Log on To Windows
asking for a password. Previously, my computer just
opened to my desktop. How can I get back to opening
direct to my desktop? There are no other users on the
computer.
Also, on Shutdown I'm now running something called:
enoagd32.exe
What is this and I'd like to get rid of it also.
Aditionally both logon and shutdown boxes have changed
from the original.

Hi

If you want to logon onto to Windows without having to enter a password, try
the following:

From Start>Run type in

control userpasswords2

then uncheck 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer' and click 'Apply'. On the next screen - 'Automatically Log On' -
delete the name 'Administrator' from the User name box and enter your
account name and then the password in the next two boxes. OK your way out
and then reboot your system.

for your enoagd32.exe problem you may like to virus-check your systen with
the latest definitions for your AV program and check for any spyware that
might be on your system with the following programs:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

To answer your first question:
Auto Logon:

Start, run, type in: control userpasswords2, hit enter.

Uncheck: users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

Xp will then ask you to enter the user and password you want to auto-logon
to.
Or
Download and install tweakui for xp and use its auto-logon feature.
