First off, I'm using XP Pro. I reloaded windows today and now it wont login to my username on startup. Before i had to reload windows it would go straight to my desktop upon startup. Also after sitting idle for a while it will automatically logff. My q
uestion is how do I get it to logon at startup and stay logged on? It was just that way everytime I have ever loaded ANY version ofwindows onto ANY computer.
