Hello,
Windows 2000 boots automatically to a logon account whcih
no longer exists. The new user would like to have the
system boot into her account on startup automatically
instead of the first account that was setup on the system.
How do we change the user from the account that was setup
when the operating system was installed.

Thanks,
Barry
 
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.
