Re: XP Logon screen

You can implement the following procedure to enable automatic logon:


1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type: control userpasswords2 , and then click OK.
3. In the dialog box that appears, clear the "Users must enter a user name
and password to use this computer" check box, and then click OK.

Note: Any PC that is not password-protected is a very insecure PC!
