Hello all,

I have Windows XP and recently brought my laptop down to factory defaults

and i had to install everything and all windows updates. However, i now have

the welcome screen and have to log on but just my clicking on my name. The

last time I deleted the aspnet user account which solved the problem and I

could go straight to the desktop but I don't want to do that again (i thought

it was some kind of spyware until i found out what it really was!!) can

someone tell me please what is the easiest, safest and less complicated way

of doing this to go straight to desktop on turn on pc, no welcome screen, no

clicking user accounts, nothing...just straight to desktop?? Thank you any

help would be so appreciated, driving me crazy!

Thanks

Re: straight to my desktop...!!please!

 

Lets go for the easier root. Download the free application called TweakUI

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx (You

need to look on the right hand side of the web page and select TweakUI.exe

(not the titanium version)

 

Once you have downloaded it, install it and then run the application. In the

TweakUI main window click the + (plus) sign next to the Logon option and

then click 'Autologon' In the auto logon window put a tick in the box marked

'log on automatically at system startup' then click OK. Now restart your PC

and you should boot straight to the desktop.

Re: straight to my desktop...!!please!

 

You did this right??

How to Automatically Logon to Windows XP:

 

If you want XP to boot directly to the desktop, follow these steps:

 

1. Click Start/Run and type: control userpasswords2 and press OK.

 

2. Remove the check mark from from the "Users must enter a username and

password to use this computer check box. Click Apply.

 

3. Enter the user name and password you wish to automatically log on with,

and then click OK/OK.

Yes Paul he did it right, it is just that now he gets the 'classic' log on

screen more reminiscent of Windows 2000. I have tried the instructions

myself and get exactly the same result. The easiest way around the problem

is to use TweakUI as I have recommended in my last post to husky. That one

'does' work.

Re: straight to my desktop...!!please!

 

I left out step 4.

 

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2, and then click OK.

3. Clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this

computer" check box, and then click Apply.

4. In the Automatically Log On window, type the password in the Password

box, and then retype the password in the Confirm Password box.

5. Click OK to close the Automatically Log On window, and then click OK to

close the User Accounts window.

Re: straight to my desktop...!!please!

 

Husky, I have used TweakUI on my copy of XP and it has worked and XP boots

straight to the desktop. A simply registry tweak solves the problem, but

rather than outline what registry keys you should change it was easier to

let TweakUI do it for you.

 

I have added the TweakUI option to the instructions on my website.

Re: straight to my desktop...!!please!

 

Hi John, that's great! Your solution worked for me and it's lovely to go

straight to desktop at start up. Howver, one more question if I may.....when

i put system in standby and then on again, i get the logon box again but just

hit enter to bypass. Can I eliminate this box too? thanks

Re: straight to my desktop...!!please!

 

Try going to Control panel and clicking the power options icon. In the power

options window, click the Advanced tab. In advanced tab remove the tick from

the box 'prompt for password when computer resumes from standby' and click

OK.
