Logon Screen...

[NoNoBadDog!]

I installed dotNET framework 1.1 on my wife's laptop, because a piece of
software required it.

Prior to installation, It would boot directly into her account
(administrator). Now, it stops and the Welcome screen and she has to click
on her user icon to logon. I disabled the guest account. How can I make it
so that it boots right into windows as it did before?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bobby,

This has nothing to do with the Guest account. .Net Framework adds another
user (ASP.NET) which disables auto-logon. See if this helps:

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

2. On the Users tab, 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.

Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)

if she was booting straight into The Administrator (the built-in one) then
that is very bad practice. The built-in Administrator should be reserved for
emergencies and for performing tasks that need to be done globally.
Create a User with Admin rights and use that on a daily basis.

Gordon;

She was using a separate account with admin rights. There were 4
accounts...
Administrator; My wife's account, the Guest account (disabled) and the
APPnet account created by dotnet framework. The same thing happened on my
computer.
