I recently installed the .Net neighborhood on my XP Pro
home computer. Now when I boot I get a new password
screen, which I have to return through in order to
complete booting.

I've succeeded in having no password, but I'd like to
eliminate the screen entirely, which interrupts my boot.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks!

Hi

To configure autologon:

Click [Start] [Run] and type
control userpasswords2
Click [OK]
The [User Accounts] Property Sheet displays.
On [Users] tab, clear the [Users must enter a user name and password
to use this computer] check box.
Click [Apply].
Enter a user name and password that should be used to logon
automatically in the dialog box that appears.
Click [OK].
Go to [Control Panel] [User Accounts] [Change the Way Users Log On and
Off].
Uncheck [Use the Welcome Screen] and [Use Fast User Switching]


or alternatively you can use Tweak UI:

Download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp and
when installed go to Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI
- then go to Logon>Autologon.
 
Torgeir -- many thanks for these tips. I'm sure both
will work, and all I need is one!

cheers,
Tom
