Default Change default user

When I boot my computer it automatically goes to the "Administrator" account.
I can "change user" to the account that I use but it's a minor annoyance.

How do I get the computer to boot into the account that I always use?

Thanks

Hi Lee,

Use the method described here to logon to your user account directly.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...autologon.mspx
This procedure works fine in Windows Vista as well.

In step 4, type-in your user account name instead of "Administrator"
