Yes, I'm almost happy now ;-)
No, really, I DO like to input my password when I start the computer, but
before ASP it automatically assumed me, and opened the password box. Now I
have to first click my username etc etc....
(Yes, I have TweakUI. I haven't tried to input only username, leaving
password empty in either that or ctrl-usrpass2. ... yet)
(And yes, my screen saver is password protected now, it doesn't go to the
welcome screen...)
