logon screen

[Ayush]

Replied to [KB-1]s message :

I'm the only user of this computer. It is my home computer. I updated
Windows today and it turned on my Login screen that I had a friend disable
for me. I have tried a system restore and I have tried removing the updates
but to no avail. Is there a way to perninantly disable this login screen?
Can I delete it totally from Windows XP? Is it possible that I can finally
send the dreaded login screen towards the light? Is this thing like Dracula?
Do I need to put a wooden spike through my computer before it will forever
go away???

For me, as you have probably noticed, it is one of the most annoying things
on the face of the earth; next to people who think they can drive properly
but really can't and do stupid things on our highways because they failed
patience school.

No you can't remove it from XP but you can set XP to auto logon. You had it
that way once before, right, so wouldn't it stand to reason you could change
it back instead of going to all the trouble of system restore and removing
updates? Who failed patience school?
