Are User Accounts Required in XP

[Big Pete]

I want to be able to configure XP Pro to go straight to the desktop when it
boots up without having to log in. I know this was possible in Win98, is it
possible with XP ?

Thanks,
Big Pete

Hi Big Pete,
If you want mulitply users than I would say "yes" if your the only user
diable the password for your user account and you will sart with out
selecting a account then password. to get to the Adim account hit
Ctrl+Alt+Del 2 times
Hope This Helps

User accounts are required, but you can select one to open
automatically, if you're not the least bit concerned about security.
