One of my PCs has Pro. When I turn it on it goes all the
way to Desktop, and doesn't ask me to choose a User. My
other PC, even though I am the only User wants me to
choose 'me' before it goes to Desktop. I have tried to
compare all setting and it seems that they are 100% the
same in the User Accounts.

Does someone know what I am not looking at right?

Thanks

Click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 Uncheck, Users must =
enter a username and password....... Click Apply. In the next dialog, =
enter the user account that you want automatically logged on, and the =
password for that account, if any.
