Logon issues
My home computer is running XP Pro and was bought retail.
Originally it was setup to automatically logon with the built-in Administrator account. I went through the User Accounts in Control Panel to change to use the traditional logon screen. Then I required the Ctrl + Alt + Del combination to logon through the Local Security Policy. This all works fine, however the system is trying to logon when it starts up using the Administrator user name with no password. I renamed that account and of course it has a password. I have checked everything but the registry for a way to fix that but I have found nothing. I do not get this problem after just logging off, only at startup. Does anyone have a suggestion or ten? This is not something critical, just very annoying. |

Logon issues
Hi Chris,
Are you trying to stop it from auto logining in or are you trying to get it to auto login with the new name and password? Thx, Nico Tomacelli Microsoft Corp.

Hello Chris, How exactly did you rename the administrator account? It's
best to do so using the local or group policy. 320053 HOW TO: Rename the Administrator and Guest Account in Windows 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/?id=320053 Also XP and 2000 will remember the last logon account. You can change that setting via policy also. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. |
