I have 2 administrator accounts,
One is "Administrator" and one has my name on it. I actually want the one with my name on it to come up but when I follow the directions below, the 'Administrator" account comes up with "it's settings" not the settings that I have with my name account. Is there any way for me to skip the password and have my account come up instead of "Administrator" account? thanks sharkman Go to Start - Run and enter the following in the Open box: control userpasswords2 Click OK On the Users page, uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Click OK In the box that pops up enter your user name and password and click OK. -- Shafer - Professional Web Surfer and President of the PWSAA; Official BB and anywhere else pointgiver and CEO HRWB. |
