Don't want password screen to pop-up

I am the only use on my computer. I would like to turn on the computer and
not have to deal with entering a password everytime. How can I get XP to
stop wanting me to enter a password?

In Control Panel-Users, there is me as the administrator and another as the
guest. The guest account is off.

Also, is there a way for me to turn on windows XP and have it automatically
log on to my internet provider?

Click to expand...

Download TweakUI. With it you can disable windows from asking
password at startup plus do many other handy things. =)

You didn't mention which xp you have but here's link for both.

Click Start, Run and type "control userpasswords2", and click Ok.

Ramesh, you show 2 versions of TweakUI on your website, V2.00 564kb and
V2.10 147kb. Does the difference in file size reflect the number of
facilties available in each version?
