Hi Lynn,

To automatically log-on to Windows, type CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 at Start >>
Run and press enter.
Under the "User" tab, uncheck the box "Users must enter a username...." and
hit apply. Supply the
username and password under which you want your computer to Auto-logon
everytime and OK your way
out
