Formatted my HD again, and I have that window @ startup "To begin, click
your user name/Owner".... Would like to go directly to my desktop...
One more thing, Whenever I would use Google, whatever I typed in "Search"
would stay until I deleted it. For some reason nothing shows...
I normally print a copy of any replys, unfortunitaly my printer was down
last week...
Thanks
Barry/Austin

1. First, make sure the Welcome screen is being displayed at startup. If
it's not, click Start | Control Panel and double click User Accounts. Click
Change the way users log on or off, then select Use the Welcome screen for
fast and easy logon and click OK.
2. Next, you have to turn off the Guest account if it's turned on. To do
so, click Start | Control Panel and double click User Accounts. Select the
Guest account and click Turn off Guest access.
3. Finally, you must set your account to have no password. To do so, click
Start | Control Panel and double click User Accounts. Select your user
account that you want to log on automatically. Select Remove my password.
You'll be prompted to type your current password, then click Remove Password
