View Full Version : User name screen while booting up

I have Window XP Home edition installed on my PC at home.
I am the administrator and the computer is not used on a
network. I recently downloaded and installed the most
recent XP system update files. Shortly after this was done
my computer, when I would turn it on, would go to a sign
in screen and ask which user would be using the machine.
Something like signing on to a network at work where the
PC when it boots up asks for a user name and password. I
prefer to have the system boot up right into the desktop
rather that go through this extra step to boot up my
computer. Is there a setting in the users account or else
where that is telling XP home to ask which user is using
the PC when it boots up. I haven't had this problem until
last week when I installed the latest windows updates from
the website.

My main question is how do I tell Window XP to boot up
right into the desktop without going through this new user
request.

Thanks for any help you can give.

See "How to Configure Windows XP to Automatically Log On a User
Account" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=282866).
