User Account Login

[ColTom2]

Hi:

Recent Windows Update .Net Framework 2.0 apparently added another User
Account (ASP.NET Machine etc) as a Limited Account.

However, now when I boot up I have to click on my main User Account to
finish booting up. Is there anyway that I can choose just to boot straight
into my main account without having to select an account? I suppose I could
delete the newly established user account and it would go back to the way it
was in booting straight up.

Thanks,

Col Tom

Leave the new account as is, don't delete.

Next try Power Toy's Tweak UI from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Install, run and under Logon you will find check boxes to select the
accounts you want displayed (you can hide the new .net account)and in the
Autologon you can choose to Enable/Disable it by Checking or un-checking the
'Logon automatically' option.

You are aware of the security implications of this, aren't you?

Yes, ASP.NET adds another user. Don't delete it.

You can easily boot to your user account. A good way to set it up is via
the XP Power Toy TweakUI, Logon, using the autologon setting.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Do set a password for your account - this helps the autologon and matters
for other reasons, too, such as allowing tasks that use the Windows Task
Scheduler (like backups or virus scans) to run. It is possible to defeat
this behaviour, but it's there for security reasons.

This can be caused by the Net Framework update:

Welcome to Windows Screen Appears When You Start Windows XP After You
Install the .NET Framework 1.1: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=827072

To correct:

1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok.

2. On the Users tab, left click "your user name" then clear the Users Must
Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then click
OK.

3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the "user name
and password" for the account you want to be logged on each time you start
your computer.

Added note: (Alex MVP)

If you want to logon to one of the other users, hold down shift as the
system boots up.

Tip:

Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Remove ASPNET from the Welcome Screen for Auto Logon (Line 352) Right hand
side
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Resolves the Auto Logon within 1.1 issue:

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
