Put cursor in password box on Welcome screen

[Bob S]

In Windows XP, the Welcome screen always comes up with the cursor to the
left of the box for the password. I wish that it were in the password box
so that I could simply start typing my password. I realize that on many
computers, there are several options for users at this point. But it seems
that it could at least be in one of the boxes to start typing. Can this be
changed?

I read this and can't try it but perhaps you can:

1. control panel/Admin tools/computer management
2. system tools/local users and groups/Users
3. double click on ASPNET (ASP.NET Machine Account)
4. click on "account is disabled"
5. reboot

This apparently means no ASP.NET development on that machine.

Having to press TAB is WAY too hard!

Thanks Jose. I did steps 1 & 2 but could not find ASPNET then. So, I guess
I will need to use the TAB suggestion.
