New Dell 4800 with XP Media Center. Initial setup asks if I want to setup
users. Sounds like a good idea, OK. Now the files my wife copies from our old
computer while under her login, are unavailable to me, and vise versa. Also,
applications I install under my login, which run during startup (eg tv tuner
card software), isn't available to her.

I want to eliminate all logins and allow windows to boot right to the
desktop, without loosing any doccuments or software installed by either of us.
 
Hi,

You can either have her start saving to the Shared Documents folder, and
read here about installing software for all users:

Or you can move everything into one profile and delete the others. Do not
password the one account, and it should boot straight to it.
