When you installed the backup software, were you told you needed to install .NET

Framework? That would account for the change in autologon. Here are a couple of

options that should restore your autologon.

 

1. Download and install TweakUI from Microsoft. TweakUI is

available here.

 

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

 

Direct Download of TweakUI

http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

 

Once the program is installed, go to Start -> All Programs ->

Powertoys for Windows XP -> TweakUI.

Click the + sign next to Logon in the left hand column.

Click on Autologon.

In the right hand pane, put a check mark in the box next to

"Logon automatically at system startup".

Enter the name of your user account in the User Name box.

Hit the Set Password button and enter your password twice.

Note: You should skip this step if your account has a blank

password.

Click OK to close TweakUI.

Restart your computer to see if you get the desired results.

 

2. Go to Start -> Run.

Copy and paste the following into the Open box:

 

control userpasswords2

 

Click OK.

In the "Users for this computer" box, click on the account you

want to have logged on automatically.

Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this

computer".

Click OK.

In the box that pops up, make sure the account you clicked on

earlier is entered next to User Name.

Enter your password twice.

Note: You can leave the password box blank if the account does

not have a password.

Click OK.

Reboot to see if you get the desired results.

Also look at LogonExpert autologon tool

Re: Now I get evey time the - log on window

 

To correct:

 

1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok.

 

2. On the Users tab, left click "your user name" then clear the Users Must

Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then click

OK.

 

3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the "user name

and password" for the account you want to be logged on each time you start

your computer.

 

Added note: (Alex MVP)

 

If you want to logon to one of the other users, hold down shift as the

system boots up.

 

Tip:

 

Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)
