Newly Windows Updated XP/SP2 system....
In boot-up, it asks me to click on my name.
It's a one-user system.......how do I get it to
skip that necessity?

Thank you.

Hi Bill,

Odd that a one-user system would take you to the Welcome screen instead of
automatically logging into the user account. Perhaps this will help you:

Skip the Welcome Screen and Logon Automatically

Right, Patti, but the link has the
explanation: on that system, I just now installed
the .NET framework, in setting up the new OS.
Thank you.

Uhhhh, no, not quite, Patti. I got to the run>>control etc.,
and saw the box to uncheck, and unchecked it. But when I
rebooted, it didn't pause at that I.D. place, but went
by a few new boot-up milestones and then loaded a new
wallpaper and OS. I wanted it to load my waalpaper and apps.

What was available as Users and Groups in that windoe
was three lines:

Username Group
Administrator Administrators
ASPNET Users
William B. Lurie Administrators

I'm hoping that you'll tell me what to change so that it
just boots up to the OS I'm accustomed to, immediately
after a screen appears saying "Loading your Personal
Settings". As for passwords, in this area, whenever a
password is suggested as being required, I just hit
"Enter" for (no password). Thanks for your assistance.
 
After you unchecked the "Users must enter a username and password to use this
computer" checkbox and then clicked on the Apply button, you should have then
received the "Automatically Log On" dialogue box. The User in the User name
field defaults to Administrator...at this point you change the User in the
User name field to the user account that you want to automatically log onto
at subsequent reboots. Did you change the User in the User name field to
William B. Lurie instead of leaving it at the default Administrator? If not,
I would suggest redoing the steps to re-check the checkbox beside ""Users
must enter a username and password....", restart, click on the icon for your
user account, then redo the steps to uncheck the checkbox ensuring that you
substitute William B. Lurie for Administrator in the User name field. If you
have set a password for the William B. Lurie account, key it into the
Password and Confirm password fields.

Those specific instructions gave me the courage to return
to the site an correct it perfectly. I had feared that I
might make actually signing in imposible. Thank you again.
