set deafult account

How do I tell windows XP home edition which account to use as the default?

[Bruce J. Weiers]

At Start > Run,
type
control userpasswords2
In the User Accounts dialog, which appears,
first, check
"Users must enter a username and password to use this computer"
then
select the user who will be the default user,
then (still in the User Accounts dialog)
clear
"Users must enter a username and password to use this computer"

This should result in another dialog appearing which will give you the
opportunity of entering a password for the default account, and cause
the computer to boot straight into the default account.
I think.
