I did an update to W2K and now the computer defaults to the Administrator
login instead of my personal login. How do I change default login user? I
find no options in Users and Passwords to change this back to my login as
default. Thanks.

- click start/run, type regedit/OK

- navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT
\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

- double-click the DefaultUserName entry, type yourname/OK

- double-click the DefaultPassword entry, type the yourpw/OK

- close the registry
