Guest BossTom Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 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 Tom
Guest marx404 Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Re: Remeber username when unlocking computer (SP3) Yes, you can get TweakUI, Google for it. But why would you not want to use passwords? -- marx404 <all gmail posts blocked> _________________ "BossTom" <BossTom@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:51773442-DE7C-47D8-A21A-1EF244211347@microsoft.com... > 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 > > Tom

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. > 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 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. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum
