Logon Screen

[BH2]

Hi guys,
I always seem to get strange problems, I have looked through the help
section and can't find an answer to it, so would be grateful for any help. I
am running windows Xp Svc Pk2. I am the only one that uses this computer,
what normally happened was that I just switched my computer on and it booted
up straight to the window desktop and loaded the icons and programs that I
selected. Now for some reason ( I did install Norton's Ghost since I last
booted up), it goes to the select User Account, which is only mine so I have
to click my name for it to continue to boot upto my account. How can I
get it just to go straight to my account automatically instead of having to
select it each time. Thanks for your assistance
Regards
Bob

I wish to skip the requirement to click on user.

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.

To correct:

1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok.

2. On the Users tab, left click your user name then clear the Users Must
Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then click
OK.

3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the "user name
and password" for the account you want to be logged on each time you start
your computer.

If you want to logon to one of the other users, hold down shift as the
system boots up.

Tip:

Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)
