.. Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.
.. Type in the following: control userpasswords2 .. now click OK .. In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the primary logon. .. Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." box. .. Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the selected users password. Click OK. The changes will work the next time you restart your computer. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;315231 How to Enable Automatic Logon in Windows http://windowsxp.mvps.org/autologon.htm Configure Windows XP to Automatically Login Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm -- ==================================== TaurArian [MS-MVP] 2005-2008 - Australia ==================================== How to make a good post: http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm Defending your machine: http://defendingyourmachine2.blogspot.com/ http://taurarian.mvps.org/index.htm Emails will not be acknowledged - please post to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

In addition to what TaurArian says, you ARE aware of the security implications of an automatic log-in (both local AND remote) aren't you? |
