Hi,
I am trying to remove the functionality of having to login into my xp system 
when it boots up, i want it to assume administrator and log it self in. When 
i try to alter the user profile settings i am missing tabs and details that 
are usually there e.g the 'Advanced' tab, as illustrated by help system  . I 
cannot seem to work out how to get away from the really annoying user 
profile screen with the login images and names that doesn;t give you any 
other options but to add or change user profiles (of which these screens do 
not have any information regarding making the account login automatically). 
I have reset my admin password to nothing and this didn;t help. I have even 
gone inot 'Computer Managment' and edited the admin account but there were 
no options to make it login automatically???
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
