How to boot with NO LOGON?

[Sylvia]

Home Premium which I like a lot

I would like to boot and come from standby with no logon
or fingerprint. And can I eliminate the splash screens
also to speed up the boot process?

Thanking you

Hi Sylvia,

Eliminating splash screens would have a negligible effect on the boot time.
Better to concentrate on the startup processes and keep the load trimmed.

I don't know about the fingerprint thing, that's not a standard logon tool
so you'd have to check the security settings of the software that is
employing it. As to the logon password, that part is easy, just run 'control
userpasswords2' from the search line and click on your user account, then
uncheck the line to require users to logon. Click apply/ok and follow the
prompts from there.

Works nice - thank you.

You of course are correct in startup things. I find no
information on thing called DRCU. And in startup there
is Microsoft Windows Operating System. Very curious that
it is there, but think I will leave it.

Hi Sylvia,

Might want to read some of these links on DRCU:

The other one is the line that loads the sidebar.
