Re: login Wesley :-)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I did what you said and it showed a folder. I presume the name of that folder
is a " Login" . That is not what I click on to log onto my PC.
Wesley? I was logging in as me. My name was computer admistrator. There is
also a " Guest" option.

Like I said when I put what you said in " Run " a folder showed up. Has all
my stuff in it. Cool.

What I don't understand is....why when I start my PC it hangs on the screen
that says " Windows is starting up" Then I hit alt/tab and I can log in as
me, meaning the username I created. Cool.


Wesley? What is the folder that popped up when I did the run thing you asked?
For instance: in that folder is " My documents". Is that the same as when I
click on " Start/MyDocuments?"
