[danny]

hi, when i use to start my computer..windows xp home
ediition.. it never use to ask me to click on one of my
login, it just use to log in automatically when i turn on
my computer without asking me anything. How can i make it
return to that state because when i start my computer now
the welcome screen is there and i have to click on my
login to enter but i just want it to log in automatically
like before. What do i do? thanks

Hi

Download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp and when
installed go to Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI - then go to
Logon>Autologon.

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.

Start | Run, type "control userpasswords2" Start | Run, type
"control userpasswords2" Select the account you want to logon to
automatically. Then uncheck the box "Users must enter a user name
and password to use this computer."

Or do the same thing with TweakUI.
