START UP

[wayne bansemer]

Running Xp Home on 2 computers. One computer, when I start up it goes
automatically to my Desktop.
The other computer goes to the window asking me to click on an icon to
start.
How do I set up computer to go automaticlly to desktop like first computer?
Thank-you

You can use the following steps to enable automatic logon:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type: control userpasswords2 , and then click OK.
3. In the dialog box that appears, clear the "Users must enter a user name
and password to use this computer" check box, and then click OK.
