I have 3 users set up on the computer. Currently the
computer boots to "user 1". How do I make the change so
the computer boots to a different user?
 
You can run regedit.exe and navigate to;
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
edit the Reg_Sz string values
"DefaultUserName"
and
"DefaultPassword"
to reflect the correct username and password.

I assume this is under WinXP..and you have the 'new style' logon that throws
you straight into the user..
If you logoff (you might need to add this to your start bar) then you
should see the users..
settings control panel, user accounts is where logo/logoff settings are
set.. You can also change the default startup user here or disable this so
the system starts up and asks which user.
