No Logon at Boot

[james]

When installing W2K Pro it asks you if you want to assume that the account
created at install will always be the default account and if you say Yes it
will boot up and bypass the logon screen.

If you say you want users to use the logon screen the standard screen will
present itself during bootup.

Problem: Install was configured for asking for a logon and password and now
the client wants to NOT have that, just bypass that screen and boot right up
to the desktop. This happened a few years ago and I think I remember it
being a reg edit function.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

James

"Require users........"

If you accidentally delete a user, how are you able to
bypass the log on screen and get back into Windows 2000?
