Remeber username when unlocking computer (SP3)

[Guest BossTom]

Hi,

 

Before installing SP3 when i came to unlock a computer it used to remember

my username so all i had to do is enter the password.

 

Now after installing SP3 the user name is blank and has to be entered each

time.

 

So now when a computer is locked I can't easily tell who locked it.

 

Is it possible to set it so the username is remembered with SP3

Yes, you can get TweakUI, Google for it. But why would you not want to use

passwords?

I don't think SP3 did that. At least, my copy of Windows XP still displays

the name of the user who invoked the lock.

It might be related to 'remembering password' issues. Not sure where I would

look, but possibly something related to the User accounts, and login

options.

Just to add to this:

 

I am using Win XP pro on a network. This is only effecting network computers

that are on SP3. The PC's still on SP2 remeber the username.
