I can't remember (and can't find the information in the online Help) how
to log myself in automatically (i.e. without having to enter my
password) when the PC starts up.

I know how to do it in Windows 2000, but the relevant tick box doesn't
seem to be available in XP.
 
userpasswords2 has been deprecated in one of the updates, so that link is
not applicable. I suggest trying the registry entry that worked in Win 2K.
(I have not tried this lately)

Thanks for the further info, but userpasswords2 worked on the brand new
(custom-built) PC I picked up earlier this week.

Does this suggest that it isn't fully up to date?
 
I was guessing that an update did the deprecation, perhaps my system needs
repair. I don't know. Others here might chime in with their experience, to
determine that.
