When I first installed XP left the password blank during
installation and whenever Windows booted up after that,
no password box appeared and Windows went directly to the
desktop.

A few days ago I had to do a clean reinstall of XP on the
same machine. Although I left the password blank,
whenever I boot up now, Windows asks me for a password. I
leave it blank amd hit ENTER and Windows tales to the
desktop. I have not found a way of eliminating the
request for a password. Has the Microsoft updates made
this impossible or can anyone tell me the solution
 
Hi Erwin,

1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok.

2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To
Use This Computer check box and then click OK.

3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user name
and password for the account you want to be logged on each time you start
your computer.

Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)
