Do I have to pick a user everytime I turn my computer on? Is there anyway
to
just go to desktop when it starts up? I am the only user on this machine.
Sure, there are several ways to setup an auto login.
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.
