How to have XP not ask for user?

[Guest Don Wiss]

I have just resurrected a computer. The motherboard died. I replaced the

motherboard, reformatted C: and reinstalled XP Pro. Now when it starts up

it asks for the user. Before it went right into "Don", the only user on the

system. How do I get it back to the way it was?

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
