Turning Off Welcome Screen

[Brian]

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

Is there any way that I can turn off the welcome screen on my computer? I
don't share it, so there's no need for me to log in. I've searched
everywhere, but I can't find a way to let the computer automatically log in.
How do I turn off the login? Thanks for any help.

Start | Run, type "control userpasswords2" Start | Run, type
"control userpasswords2" Select the account you want to logon to
automatically. Then uncheck the box "Users must enter a user name
and password to use this computer."



Or do the same thing with TweakUI.

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.
