How To Disable Startup/Signon Screen

[Bob L]

Thanks Gerry.
There is my (administrator) account, "ASP.NET" account,
and a "guest" account. I assume the "ASP" is for
Microsoft's ".Net" package that I use with MS Money. I'm
really the only user, so should I delete the other two
user accounts? Many, many thanks!

Hi,

The asp.net account is the result of installing the .net framework update
from the Windows Update site - you can remove this account should you wish.

To setup and autologon:

Start/run "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes).

Uncheck the box requiring a username and password, click apply/ok and follow
the prompts to set up a default logon.
