I had a major crash and have just finished setting up all my programs and
reinstalling everything - I wanted to get rid of the popup screen that asks
for password - so typed in one of the tips I found on
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article04-103 which said to:

a.. Select Run from the Start Menu, type control userpasswords2, and click
Ok.
b.. Turn off the Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer option, and click Ok.
so I did - and it worked great - except it immediately goes to the
administrator account instead of mine - do I need to delete the
administrator acct in users and change my name to administrator in order for
it to log into my acct? The acct where all my stuff is does have admin
properties listed... thanks!

Hi

When the 'Automatically Log On' screen appears delete 'Administrator and type the name of *your* account in the 'User Name:' box followed by the password for that account.
 
It doesn't do that - when it boots up it automatically goes into the admin
acct -


Hi

type the name of *your* account in the 'User Name:' box followed by the

Hi

I don't think you have finished configuring the logon set up. Start>Run then type in 'control userpasswords2' - without the quotes - click OK. On the next screen uncheck 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer' and then click 'Apply'. On the next screen - 'Automatically Log On' - clear the name 'Administrator' from the User name: box and type the name of *your* account in there instead and then fill in the two password boxes. OK your way out and then reboot your system.
 
Thanks - I an that and it wasn't checked so I checked it, then unchecked it
and clicked apply and then the next box popped up and I took out
Administrator and put in my name - we'll see if that works - thanks
