Skipping Password
I just installed XP Pro and every time I start it, I have to enter my
password to continue. How can I get rid of this? I'm the only person that uses this computer, so I don't need this much security. Thanks |

I'm the only person that uses this computer, so I don't need this much security. Start | Run, type "control userpasswords2" Start | Run, type "control userpasswords2" Select the account you want to logon to automatically. Then uncheck the box "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer." Or do the same thing with TweakUI. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |
