User Accounts

[Venky]

Hi,

I see that you wish to log on to Windows XP with out being
prompted for user name and password. Perform these steps
to accomplish the task:

1. Start / Run / type "control userpasswords2" (with out
quotations) and OK.

2. On the Users tab, clear the Users must enter a user
name and password to use this computer box.

3. Press Apply and OK.
