Yes another dumb question,

I can't seem to get my computer to use the logon at start up. I feel I have
tried everything I know to do which is limited so what do I do to require
logon at start up?
 
Is there a TweakUI tool for windows 2000. We have all of our system are
windows xp but I can't upgrade my server yet and it running on windows 2000.
 
Hi

Click on start - control panel - user and groups and in there change the way
windows xp logs in.

Any probs let me now

Kind regards

1) Click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
2) Select the user account you want automatically logged on (this avoids the Administrator account being selected by default)
3) Uncheck Users must enter username and password..........
4) Click Apply
5) In the next dialog, enter the password, if any, for the account you chose in Step 2
6) Ok your way out
 
I'm on the server windows 2000. Is there a way when the system reboot it
automaticly logins.
 
Hi
Please follow these steps and that should do the trick

If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor
incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To enable automatically logon, do the following:
1. Start Regedt32.exe, and then locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
2. Using your account name and password, double-click the DefaultUserName
entry, type your user name, and then click OK.
3. Double-click the DefaultPassword entry, type your password, and then
click OK.

NOTE: If the DefaultPassword value does not exist, follow these steps:

a. Click Add Value on the Edit menu.
b. In the Value Name box, type DefaultPassword, and then click REG_SZ for
the Data Type
c. Type your password in the String box, and then save your changes.
Also, if no DefaultPassword string is specified, Windows automatically
changes the value of the AutoAdminLogon key from 1 (true) to 0 (false), which
disables the AutoAdminLogon feature.
4. Click Add Value on the Edit menu, enter AutoAdminLogon in the Value Name
box, and then click REG_SZ for the Data Type.
5. Type 1 in the String box, and then save your changes.
6. Quit Regedt32.
7. Click Start, click Shutdown, and then click OK to turn off your computer.
8. Restart your computer and Windows. You are now able to log on
automatically.
NOTE: To bypass the AutoAdminLogon process, and to log on as a different
user, hold down the SHIFT key after you log off or after Windows restarts.

See if that helps and let me now

Many thanks
