Re: Change in Startup

Nepatsfan,
Thank you for your reply. While I know very little about this part of
Windows, I looked at the User Accounts, and found one called ASP.Net Machine
A... I have no idea how that got there. I was afraid to try to change it
because I have been able to upload digital photo data OK. Having to click on
my name to during boot-up is not a big deal, as long as nothing else is
going wrong that I don't know about. I printed out your suggestion to have
for future reference if I find it necessary to make the change back to where
it was. Charles Ranheim
