Re: Logging on to windows xp network

Is there a way to automatically log on to the network after a

reboot? All 7 machines on network are running Windows XP pro
including the
server. Each time a workstation is rebooted, after logging back onto
that machine, a user name and password is required to log back onto
the network.
Is this a set security step with XP or are there ways around it?
Thank you!

Since you apparently don't have a domain and aren't concerned about
security, just set the workstations to go automatically to the Desktop.

If that isn't what you mean, then please define "log on to the network".
