XP Logon
Is there any way I can bypass any Logon's? I have unchecked Fast User
Swithing and Welcome Screen, and it STILL wants the "Administrator" to give the password. I have no password there, but still have to click to get XP to open to my Desktop. Any ideas? thanks! Pete |

When (not if) it gets corrupted, the ONLY way into your machine is via a repair install of Windows XP. create a User account, give it admin rights if you must, and use that for everyday use. Save the built-in Administrator account for emergency access. -- Gordon Burgess-Parker Systems and Management Accounting www.gbpcomputing.co.uk |

from the control panel users. then restart yor machine to see if it gets inside automatically. else get back.

Hi
Scroll down that page to the tweakui.exe file and download it. The Logon option in Tweakui has always worked for me. -- Will Denny MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "fergie123" wrote in message ... But...
