Guest speedy_mike Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Since I installed .NET, I am now required to click on my name as part of the booting process. My name is the only one there and I'm the only user on my system. How can I circumvent this requirement? I'm running XP Pro. Thanks much in advance. Mike
Guest Patti MacLeod Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 RE: Need to select myself on startup since installation of .NET Hi speedy_mike, You could either follow the instructions here: Skip the Welcome Screen and Logon Automatically http://mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/welskip.php or D/load and install TweakUI, open TweakUI and uncheck ASP.NET in the Login section or tab (I don't use TweakUI, so I can't picture its interface in order to tell you exactly where to find the Login section). TweakUI can be d/loaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Although I have never personally experienced a problem using the first method I posted for you, one newgroup poster to whom I posted that fix stated that he then found that his computer froze at the "Windows is starting up" screen.

Under the Users tab, uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer." Don't do anything else. Click OK and reboot. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address. Delete NOSPAM from the email address after clicking Reply.

Start | Run, type "control userpasswords2" Select the account you want to logon to automatically. 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: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup
Guest speedy_mike Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Re: Need to select myself on startup since installation of .NET Bingo! The "Start | Run, type "control userpasswords2"" method did the trick. Thank all of you!

Guest Xenomorph Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Re: Need to select myself on startup since installation of .NET Ooh! another chance to spam this: http://xenomorph.net/xdntweaker/ installing .NET 1.x adds a hidden user "ASP.NET". even though they are not displayed on the welcome screen, you still have to chose your name. my XdN Tweaker has an easy 1 button feature to disable the account (or re-enable it) "speedy_mike" <mike@nospam.com> wrote in message news:46954fa0$0$504$815e3792@news.qwest.net... > Since I installed .NET, I am now required to click on my name as part of > the booting process.

Guest frodo@theshire.net Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Re: Need to select myself on startup since installation of .NET there was a hotfix to .net 1.1 a long time ago that fixed this issue - run winupdate, it should offer it to you. as stated, the issue is the ASP.NET account created; the tweakui fix is the most straight forward: uncheck "show ASPNET account on welcome screen".
