If so then the answer is: - Click Start / run / control userpasswords2{OK} - Click your usual logon account. - Untick the box that requires users to enter a password. - Click OK and enter your password when prompted.

Yes, the installation of the .net framework. To logon automatically, go to 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 Script Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 RE: logon screen In XP Home, if you mean the Welcome Screen, and if the procedure referred to by the MVP's NOW gives you the Logon Screen instead: Logon | go to Control Panel | User Accounts | Change the way Users log on and off | Put a check in Use the Welcome Screen, and another in Fast User Switching. Sounds wrong, but after reboot, you will go straight to the desktop.
