Re: XP Logon

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

1) Click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
2) Select the user account you want automatically logged on (this avoids the Administrator account being selected by default)
3) Uncheck Users must enter username and password..........
4) Click Apply
5) In the next dialog, enter the password, if any, for the account you chose in Step 2
6) Ok your way out

Is there any way I can bypass any Logon's? I have unchecked Fast User
Swithing and Welcome Screen, and it STILL wants the "Administrator" to give
the password. I have no password there, but still have to click to get XP to
open to my Desktop. Any ideas? thanks! Pete
