Guest Rider Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 For some reason my computer now boots to the user login in screen, where as before, it booted right to the desktop. Can anyone tell me how to get back to booting to the desktop and stop booting to the user login screen? thanks

Guest Rider Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: login screen I don't have to enter a password, it just comes to the screen where i just click on my name (box) and it goes to the desktop.

Guest Rider Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: login screen I didn't try your method because you mentioned signing on with a password, when windows boots, it goes to the user screen where my name is, it doesn't ask me about a password, I just click my name and it goes to the desktop, no passwords involved. thanks Pegasus (MVP) wrote: > I gave you a step-by-step recipe.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: login screen I'm afraid you're wrong. A blank password is a password too. When prompted for a password, click OK and hey presto! you're done.

Guest Rider Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: login screen Pegasus, It did get rid of that screen, thank you. The only thing I notice now is, when loading, it says "Loading Your Personal Settings", something it never did before. Oh, well. Thanks again. Rider (MVP) wrote: > I'm afraid you're wrong.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: login screen Thanks for the feedbacki. The message "Loading your personal settings" is part of the standard WinXP startup process even though you may not have noticed it before.
