FRG,
It appears that the auto-login setting is still intact (in the registry).
Click [Start] [Run] type:
rundll32 netplwiz.dll, ClearAutoLogon
Also note that, in XP Home you can login as built-in Administrator only in Safe Mode.

However, don't use the built-in Administrator login for routine use, have that as a backup. -- Ramesh - Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k --------------------------------------- What You Should Know About the Sasser Worm and It Variants: http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/sasser.asp --------------------------------------- Thank you for your help it worked fine. One other thing, now that my Admin and Guest icons are back at each startup I also have a small alert at the same time as the two select icons appear. It says "unable to log you on because of a account restriction" I click OK and it go,s away and I can continue. I have not set anything for auto log on. How do I get rid of the alert? Thanks "FRG" <xxxx@usa.net> wrote in message news:ucfj1DCOEHA.3348@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... Before I do this will this give me back the original log on screen where I only had to elect either admin or guest. I do not want to have to use a password at the moment. I only want to be able to select either admin or guest. Thanks "Ramesh [MVP]" <ramesh@nojunkmails.com@mvps.org> wrote in message news:uA2TRw8NEHA.2976@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... Click Start, Run and type "control userpasswords2", and click Ok. Enable the option "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option, and click Ok. -- Ramesh - Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k --------------------------------------- What You Should Know About the Sasser Worm and It Variants: http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/sasser.asp --------------------------------------- "FRG" <xxxx@usa.net> wrote in message news:%23sfv5s8NEHA.620@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... I used to have a screen at the start up of XP that gave me a option to select either admin or guest. That has disappeared. I still open up but to the desktop and I am in the admin control. How do I get my original logon screen back? Thanks
