How do I bypass the login screen in XP Home
Hi
Can anyone tell me how to configure my computer to bypass the login screen so that when I power up my computer I don't have to login or choose a user? It was this way before I loaded updates from microsoft. I am using XP Home edition. Thanks very much. SamT |

Remove the check mark from the "Users must enter......" option.
