It seems to work once or twice then when I reboot it is gone and I am back to clicking me on the logon screen. it is doing that on two computers. same OS (XP Pro) and other s/w.
Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Re: Why O Why doesn't reg change stick One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include but are not limited to Ad-aware Pro Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer, SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, AVG Anti-Spyware, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware, NOD32, and Zone Alarm (Free, Pro, & Security Suite).

Guest bill@love.ranch Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Re: Why O Why doesn't reg change stick Well, the only one I have is NOD32. I used to have spysweeper and it would warn me so I am familiar with that I tried turning it off then back on after I changed it. haven't checked it yet OK, just checked OUTPOST and it has an entry for TweakUI to allow changing critical objects which was unchecked - that was probably it. I'll verify later. THANK YOU...............

Guest bill@love.ranch Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Re: Why O Why doesn't reg change stick BTW the outlook express error is "Stack Overflow in line 1" when I forward the email, using my browser to HOTMAIL.com, to another hotmail account or to my Yahoo account, which I have configured in outlook express using YPOPS, I don't get the error any more. I'll try deleting the account and reinstalling it in OE.

Guest Kelly Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Re: Why O Why doesn't reg change stick Do it via XP: To correct: 1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok. 2. On the Users tab, left click "your user name" then clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then click OK. 3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the "user name and password" for the account you want to be logged on each time you start your computer. Added note: (Alex MVP) If you want to logon to one of the other users, hold down shift as the system boots up. Tip: Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm SupportSpace http://www.supportspace.com/pages?aiu=kellyskorner <bill@love.ranch> wrote in message news:tsekd4t1r0osl1ofo5bnq46cnk3l3f4426@4ax.com... >I change my logon pref using TweakUI to allow auto logon to my > account. > > It seems to work once or twice then when I reboot it is gone and I am > back to clicking me on the logon screen. > > it is doing that on two computers. > > same OS (XP Pro) and other s/w.
