Help, why all of a sudden am I getting the login screen prompting me for a
password? It is just me and my husband and we don't want to password protect
and have to type it in each time. How can I make that screen go away. It
wasn't there until I downloaded the new security update. Hope someone can
help me with this. I don't know if I can find my way back here. Can you email
me at jbandbb1969@yahoo.com ?? Forevery grateful! Bonnie

The Welcome to Windows screen appears when you start Windows XP
after you install the .NET Framework 1.1

Hi, thanks for trying to help me. I went to that link and did what it said to
download the newest .net framework 1.1 and I am still getting the login
screen prompting for a password. How do I work around this. If you set a pw,
will that screen go away and not ask me again? Please help! Thanks again!

You can use the following steps 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.

I've been having the same problem as the person above. I unchecked the
box stated previously, but when I clicked okay another box popped up asking
for user name and password information. I would to start up without any
user/password information. Thank you
