Guest Bob Speck Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 When I boot up in XP, I am always asked for a password. I don't want that. How can I keep XP from asking me for a password? Bob Speck

Then uncheck the box "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer." Or do the same thing with TweakUI. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup
