Your question is confusing, but if you are asking how to automatically
logon to an account, go to Start | Run, type "control userpasswords2"
Select the account you want to logon to automatically. Then uncheck
the box "Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer."

Or do the same thing with TweakUI.

Wha?
Disable?
and.. go directly to the desktop?

Autologon....

Get TweakUI installed and use Automatic logon setting - you get to type in
your password.
(or set the registry values or...)

Are you the only user?

Automatic Logons:
------
Microsoft method:

(Essentially the same... but different place:
http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/13/ )


Microsoft Method 2:
TweakUI from:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx


control userpasswords2 method:
1) Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.
2) Type in the following:

control userpasswords2

now click OK
3) In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the
primary logon.
Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." box.
4) Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the selected
users password.
Click OK when you are done...
------

Hopefully that gets you where you are wanting to be.

It is a *good* thing in the user arena to:
1) Have strong passwords.
2) Have more than one administrator level account (with strong passwords).

Hi Bill. Yes, I spent a lot of time in alt.windows95, then in
alt.windows98, and I've been very active here in the Microsoft Windows
XP (and now Windows Vista) newsgroups more recently.
