on a machine with XP Pro SP2, I want to reboot without clicking on anything
the machine is in a recording studio, not on line and I like to chkdsk before
I defrag, I have always been able to schedule chkdsk on the system drive pre
windows after reboot, schedule chkd.......... well you get the idea, since I
finally installed SP2 I have to click somewhere on the welcome screen or it
it won't restart I used to set this up and leave. How can I bypass this log
on screen.
Thanks, Ross
 
1) Click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
2) Select the user account you want automatically logged on (this avoids the Administrator account being selected by default)
3) Uncheck Users must enter username and password..........
4) Click Apply
5) In the next dialog, enter the password, if any, for the account you chose in Step 2
6) Ok your way out
