Re: logon screen and password field

You probably installed the .net framework or something else that installed
an additional user.

This disables the auto login feature when your password is blank (which
really isn't very secure to start off with anyways).

To easily restore auto-login, follow these instructions.

Goto Start, Run and type "control userpasswords2"
Then under the users tab, uncheck Users must enter a username/pass to use
this computer"
Then press ok and Enter your username/password

Or

Alternatively, you can use TweakUI for Windows XP to do this.
See the Logon/Auto-Logon Section

I have only one user account on myWin MCE system and it has always worked
in a way that when I log on, the password field is automatically open so I
can just type my password and log in.

All of a sudden, the password field is not open as a default anymore, and
I have to click on my account icon to show it.

Is there a way to revert to the way it was working before?

Thanks
