I am the only perosn who uses my computer and I find the
logon screen totally unnecessary and a pain in the ***.
Do I really need this? Can I get rid of it period? How
would this affect Outlook Express? I have express set up
to receive mail from my website. Are identities in
Outlook Express the same as my Windows logon ID? I just
want to turn my computer on and let it boot up straight to
my desktop screen. Any help is appreciated.
