Getting Rid Of Logon Screen
Windows XP Professional, SP3, IE7
I was always logging on to my (personal) pc without any password. It just blew past the briefly displayed Welcome screen and booted to Windows. I added a .NET account, and no matter how I try to change each user identity through Control Panel and eliminate all passwords, my pc now boots to the login screen and hangs there. I don't have to put a password in, just hit enter. I've read all the articles I can find on the Welcome Screen and Eliminating Passwords, but can't find the right procedure to get back to ignoring the login screen. Any help greatly appreciated. |

Thanks. I multi posted, which is apparently a no no, and got the Tweak UI
and the "control userpasswords2" solutions, and the second one worked. But I appreciate your help. "John Wunderlich" wrote in message 10...
