starting up with the wrong user

[lenny]

Hi,
I have just reformated a drive and reinstalled XP Pro. I have added a new
user so now there is one user (Jen) who is an administator and there is also
the default administator too. When I start the computer is keeps starting
automatically as administrator. I have tried changing the settings is
Control Panel - Users but the computer just keeps starting straight away as
admin. I am unable to get it to start with the user name splash screen even
when there is a password added.

How can I change the settings so that is starts as Jen and not admin?
Cheers
Lenny

You can run regedit.exe and navigate to;
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
edit the Reg_Sz string values
"DefaultUserName"
and
"DefaultPassword"
to reflect the correct username and password. (note: the password for an
autologon account can not be blank)
