Tighter security under SP2
Before I upgraded to Service Pack 2, my laptop would boot up directly to the
desktop. Since upgrading, it now boots up to a log on screen. I understand that there is a desire for tighter security but in this case it seems like overkill. When I work at home – which is most of the time – the machine is unpassworded in a secure area. So I’d like to go back to booting up to the desktop. Is it possible to make that change and if so, how? Thanks |

Copy and paste the following into the Open box: control userpasswords2 Click OK. Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". In the box that pops up, replace Administrator in the "User Name" box with your user account. Enter your password twice. Note: You can leave the password box blank if your account does not have a password. Click OK twice and reboot to see if you get the desired results. Nepatsfan |
