Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>general (more info?)

Hello,

In a workgroup environment how can I make one user the default user of the
computer so that this user is automatically logged in when the computer
starts? I don't want to see the login page wich displays all the local
computer user accounts.

Thanks
-Will

Hi Will,

Click start/run, type "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes) and
click ok. Uncheck the box requiring a username and password, click apply/ok
and follow the prompts to set up a default logon.

Hi William,

Click Start, Run and type "control userpasswords2", and click Ok. Uncheck
"Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option, and
click Ok. Type-in the username and credentials.
