Default useless user accounts


If you have XP:

Clickstartruntype: control userpasswords2click OK.
Uncheck: users must enter a user name and password to use
this computer. click OK

Now change the same for coming out of resume or standby:

Click startcontrol paneldouble click Power Options.
Click on the Advanced Tab. Click to clear the: Prompt for
password when computer resumes from standby and click OK.

That will auto you for login.

-----Original Message-----
I view the user accounts as more useless hoop jumping. I

want my machine to come on and without that hoop jumping.

Since I downloaded updates yesterday every time the

machine activates screen saver I have to "click" on my
user account name to get access again. Also when I start
the machine now it wants me to "click" on my account
before the machine will finish starting. I want to turn
the machine on and walk away and when I come back it's
ready to go. I don't know who decided to make this a
mandatory function but I'd like to kick their butt. I
looked in all the "help" sections that I could find and
found no mention of this issue.

I'm the only person on this machine. All the password

crap is meaningless anyway. Some who wants in can get in
anyway probably. User accounts should be a OPTION that is
activated if you want it not another hoop you have to
jump through.
