It took me a long time to get back to half normal after following your advice Terry R. It seemed to make sense so I did what you suggested but my desktop was completetly lost and I feel lucky to be back now, even though it is a little short of where I was before I unchecked the "Users must ..." box.

I don't know what you did wrong because control userpasswords2 is how you automatically log into a user account. You probably didn't select the right user account. Here is a link to help you:

Configure Windows to Automatically Login (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

As an aside, usually the new request for logon happens after you install something that requires .Net 1.1, such as printer software. The way to get back to the automatic login (no request for password) is to go to Windows Update and install the patch for .Net 1.1. Or set the machine to automatically log in the way Terry R. suggested. Since you had problems with that, look at Ramesh's link above first.
