Logon

How do I disable my logon box at startup. I'm the only
user and don't need to sign

Hi David
You can enable automatic logon by going to start > run and typing in control
userpasswords2
When the user accounts window open uncheck the tick box which reads 'users
must enter a username and password to use this computer' and click ok
(you'll be prompted to enter the user/pass you want to logon with at this
point).

Can I get rid of the Logon screen? How? I do not have
any users setup.

Go to Start/Run and type: control userpasswords2 and press OK. Remove
the check mark from the option at the top of that dialog box. "Users must
enter........." Click Apply/OK.

I've recently reinstalled XP and now have the hassle of having to logon
every time I start up the computer. As I am the only user this is
irritating to say the least. I've done everything suggested in messages in
this group and still have a problem.

When I reboot I get the logon message and am asked for a password - there
isn't one - so I hit return and everything continues as normal. In User
Accounts my account is listed as Pete and Administrator and I've tried
everything I can think of to not logon. The only thing that I can think of
which might have contributed to this (how I don't know) is that I only have
a recovery disk with my Laptop (that's what it came with) so that when I
reload the best I can get is a quick format not a full format and maybe some
setting are not erased but interfere with the OS.

Any Ideas?

Pete

i have windows xp pro and i was wondering how do i change
the type of logon screen, right now the screen is when i
start up the pc i ahve to hit control=alt=delete then a
screen appears asking me to type in my password any body
know what im talking about?

Hi Nate,

Start/run "control userpasswords2"

Go to the advanced tab, uncheck the option requiring users to use
ctrl+alt+delete. Click apply/ok and reboot.

You should now be able to use the Welcome screen option under the users
applet in the control panel.
