Automatic Logon

[Guest]

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

When I installed Win XP I set it up so that it started without any input
from me and I can't remember how I did it. I am the only user with only one
account.

I have just installed a copy of Delphi 2005 Personal together with a large
wodge of MS .Net Server stuff which I don't understand yet and probably
never will. It seems to have altered my default settings but with no record
of what it has done.

The outcome is that I now need to click on the only account name so select
it before the OS will boot up.

Can someone be kind enough to remind me how I can get rid of this niggle
when I start-up Windows. I just want to switch the box on and sit back until
it is ready to go.

Hi

Download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx and
when installed go to Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI - then go to
Logon>Autologon

Thanks Will,

I'd forgotten that I used Tweak which was why I couldnt find anything in
the WinXP Documentation. It's easy when you know how but very frustrating
when you forget.
