Logging In

[LA_MERC_Andyconda]

Does anyone know how to eliminate the user option screen during boot up in Windows XP. My sons computer had mine and his and now I just want it to boot up straight to windows without asking which user is logging in. Is there any way to do this without formatting and re installing. Thanks.

First do either of you have a password when you log on? Which person do you want it to log on as? Do you NOT want little man to be an admin? Or does it matter?

If you only have 1 account on the machine it will boot automatically to that account. So you can just delete all the accounts except his, as long as he is the administrator.

Neither accounts have passwords and they are both full admin accounts. I want the machine to just boot striaght up under one account, either one his or mine.

Start>Settings>Control Panel>User Accounts>Click on a user account>Click delete this account at the bottom and verify.

Reboot and test it.

start/run type control userpasswords2 uncheck the box next to "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" Then it will ask you to enter the name of the account you always want to log in as.

You could also use a program called TweakUI from Microsoft. We use this at the airport so the PC's come back on-line after a power outage, yet they are logged into the network.
