Startup Issue

[Guest]

Hi
I recently installed this videora ipod movie converter, but then reinstalled
it, and ive gotten this problem twice now. I only have one account on this
pc, and when i used to turn my computer on it would automatically log me in.
Now, it waits at the screen and i have to click my name before i can log in.
Ive looked at many of the account settings, and none seem to help me. Any
ideas
Chris

Use the control userpasswords2 method near the bottom of the KB article.

Have you tried?
Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > User Accounts.
Change the way users log off/on.
Uncheck "Use the Welcome screen".
Click "Apply options" and close out.

If that fails:
Click Start > Run, type in: regedit and press Enter.
Expand the hive:
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\Windows NT\current version\winlogon

Click once on winlogon, not the +, to hilite it and show the contents in
the right pane.
Look in the right pane for: AutoAdminLogon

If it's present and it has a value of 0:
Double click AutoAdminLogon and change the value to 1.
Click Ok and close out of regedit.

If it isn't present:
Right click in the right pane.
Create a new String Value.
Type the name AutoAdminLogon and make the data value 1.
Click Ok and close out of regedit.
