Hibernate problem with XP

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have Windows XP on my desktop PC and once I made the mistake of
choosing to "hibernate" my PC rather than turning it off. Since then,
every time I turn on my PC I get a "log on" screen in which I have to
click on my username to proceed, whereas before I didn't to do that. Is
there some way to turn off this feature?
Thank you very much.

Bruno

Click Start and select run: type control userpasswords2 and press enter.
Uncheck the box User must enter a username and password.
