For my first 2 weeks with Vista RC2 when I power on my computer I would be
auto logged in and taken right to the desktop.

Now for some reason I get that screen with my name and I have to click on it
to get into Vista. Anybody know what triggered this change or better yet how
I can change it back?

It seemed to happen when I turned on network discovery but I can't be 100%
sure. Turning network discovery back off has not made any difference. Hope
there is any easy fix for this because it drives me nuts.

Hi,
Did ya happen to install anything that requires older.NET?(v1)
That may be why; cuz some apps use it, and it'll setup a .ASP account.
Check by going to startt>control panel>user accounts>manage accounts
and you'll see if any other account is listed. Guest won't cause that-unless
it is on.
