set deafult account

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

[Kelly]

To do what, Murray? Boot into? If so:

1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok.

2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To
Use This Computer check box and then click OK.

3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user name
and password for the account you want to be logged on each time you start
your computer.

Tip:

Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)

[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.
