When I start my computer it comes up with a log on. How
do I start up my computer without having to come back and
press on my name? Help - this just happened after
downloading and installing updates. I have tried changing
the log on it just changes the screen. PLEASE email me
with any suggestions. I would appreciate it.
 
.. Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.
.. Type in the following:
control userpasswords2
.. now click OK
.. In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the
primary logon.
.. Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." box.
.. Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the
selected users password.

Click OK.
The changes will work the next time you restart your computer.
