Re: How do I avoid having to give Password, etc. at Restart time

Yes the password will help protect the data.
But no one should depend on the password as the sole source of security.
Removing the password requirement is another layer of security removed.
Security requires layers to work effectively.

For example, your method will not work with my computer.

an xp password wont protect your files.. I would boot it from a linux
live cd and have full access of everything on the hdd.. user accounts
on xp are only useful for when one or more people use the computer
stopping them so they can't see your personal files.
