Guest craig Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I recently had problems with my computer. I just got it to work where it would boot up properly. I have verified I have no more virus or anything else. The problem I have is when I start my computer it boots up into the administrator profile every time. I have the administrator account and one more account (craig) which I created with administrator rights. Both don't have a password chosen right now. I have turned off the fast switching option and turned off the welcome screen logon on option. I found these under change the way a user logons on or off. My question is where do I go to select which profile I want to start up. I have log onto craig setup the icons etc. When I choose computer restart it goes right to administrator. Why not craig since that was the last profile it was in. Also it just starts right up and not promps me Thanks, Craig

Guest JS Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Re: choosing a default windows profile Download Tweak UI from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Then expand the Logon option and select Autologon and Check the Autologon box. OR Start/Run and enter: CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 On the User tab: pick (highlight) the account you want to automatically log on Then uncheck: Users must enter username and password Next click Apply and enter the password (if the account you pick has a password) Finally click OK until your completely out JS "craig" <craig@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:33630E65-3F80-443D-A932-4575ECD31C2C@microsoft.com... >I recently had problems with my computer.
