User Accounts in xp Home

[Steve Hurst]

How do I reconfigure XP so that there are no user
accounts and start up is not delayed by the welcome
screen. I am the only on using this computer.

Hi

If you want to logon onto to Windows without having to enter a password, try the following:

From Start>Run type in

control userpasswords2

then uncheck 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer' and click 'Apply'. On the next screen - 'Automatically Log On' - delete the name 'Administrator' from the User name box and enter your account name and then the password in the next two boxes. OK your way out and then reboot your system.

Nice one

Is there a reference for commands that can be called trough control from
command prompt?

After applying the first suggestion you may also have to
do another step to prevent the Welcome screen from
appearing briefly.Go to Control Panel,click on User
Accounts,then select Change the way users log on and
off.Uncheck Use Welcome Screen
