How can disable the "click your name" screen which appears after the Windows
splash screen on startup? When I start the computer and leave the room, I
don't want it to halt until I click my name (I am the only user on the
machine.)

Regarding messenger, I would prefer not to have it. I don't use on line
messaging and I have clicked the appropriate box in Outlook Express. Still
my firewall keeps asking if I want messenger to access the internet or act
as a server. Does OE use messenger? Should I let messenger access the
internet or act as a server?

                     Thanks, Mike Fanning
