User Accounts & Welcome Screen

[Mike]

I had my system booting to Windows by passing the
Welcome/Logon Screen, but ever since I FULLY updated
Windows I have not been able to do so. It goes to the
Welcome/Logon Screen & I must click on the user name. I
know that it was a update, I figure it was, but I dont
know which one it was. I would like this to stop as I use
PC Anywhere & control remotely when Im out of Town & so
on. Sometimes I install apps that require restart & I
restart, wait a few minutes & reconnect back to PC
Anywhere. If someone could email me how to change this,
without system restore, I would appreciate it. I have
made alot of updates & changes to my system since the
updates.

Thank You,
Mike Petty

.. Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.
.. Type in the following:
control userpasswords2
.. now click OK
.. In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the
primary logon.
.. Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." box.
.. Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the selected
users password.

Click OK.
The changes will work the next time you restart your computer.

PS it wasn't a good idea to post your email address in the NG, you may now be
hit by lots of spam etc. It would have been better to type
(e-mail address removed) or something like that.

Thank you, Also I know about the spam thing. I dont know
what I was thinking, hence that account is used for
Family and Friends anyway, so I will change the option
that only people in my contacts can email me. Its also a
old account and hardly even used.. But thanks for the tip
and reminder.
