start up problem

[Guest]

Can anyone help me please? my problem is just a little niggle but its
annoying me. I am the only user on my computer and therefore when i set it
up i didnt put in a password so windows just started up fine but since
yesterday and for no apparent reason when i switch on i get a screen that
says "click on your user name" and a litle box comes up with my name in it
and i have to click on it and windows starts fine. My question is this how
do i stop this from happenning???? Thanx

Did you do a windows update and install the .net framework? If so this
will cause this problem. To resolve it run Windows Update again and
install the update to .Net which should take care of it. If that
doesn't work you can do the following:

1. Go to Start | Run and type in: control userpasswords2 | 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.

You can accomplish the same thing by:

Download and install tweakui for xp and use its auto logon feature.

Lastly you can add the Dialog box that comes up when running control
userpasswords 2 to the Control Panel with the following tweak:

Add Control User Passwords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)
