Re: Logon in Welcome Window



Hi,

You likely installed the .net framework as part of your updates. It adds an
account to the system and causes this issue. The account (asp.net) can be
safely removed. To regain the boot without logon screen (or actually to make
logon automatic), follow these steps. Click start/run, type "control
userpasswords2" (without the quotes) and click ok. In the user list, click
on the user that you want to be the default. Uncheck the box requiring a
username and password, click apply/ok and follow the prompts to set up a
default logon.
