Recently I added softwae and now the welcome screen requires me to select a user to logon. I want to go directly to the Windows Desktop like I used to but can't figure out how to bypass the Welcome logon screen. I tried going to User Accounts and made sure that the "Use the Welcome Screen box" is unchecked but the Welcome Screen still comes on when I boot up. Note - I get an error message whenever I select an option in User Groups - "ClassFactory cannot supply required class". I simpy check the OK box and the dialog box dissapears - it may be related somehow - any ideas?
1. Go to Start | Run and type in: control userpasswords2 | Ok.
2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then click OK.
3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user name and password for the account you want to be logged on each time you start your computer.
You can accomplish the same thing by:
Download and install tweakui for xp and use its auto logon feature. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
Lastly you can add the Dialog box that comes up when running control userpasswords 2 to the Control Panel with the following tweak:
Add Control User Passwords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
