The Windows XP Log On Screen

 

When booting up your XP system, are you finding that you are still having to log on by selecting your name and hitting enter even though you are the only user of the computer system? Would you like to get rid of that annoying log on screen? Well, whether you are the only user or not, it is possible that you can tell the computer to automatically log on. That way you don't have to worry about even bothering with the log on screen, and your computer will automatically boot right up into windows ready to go!

 

To get rid of that log on screen, please do the following:
1. Hit the Windows key for your start menu, and hit R for the run dialog box.
2. Type the following just like it appears and hit enter, control userpasswords2
3. This will open up the user accounts dialog box. You should hear, user accounts dialog, user page, users must enter a user name and password to access this computer checkbox checked.
4. Leave the checkbox checked, tab once and you should hear, users for this computer list view administrator administrators.
5. You are in a list of all of the users for your computer. If you are the administrator, then arrow down until you hear your name. You are selecting a default account under which the computer will automatically log on to when booting up.  You should hear something like, your name administroators. For example, John administrators.
6. Now shift tab back to that checkbox that says that users must enter a user name and password to access this computer, and hit the space bar to uncheck the checkbox.
7. Tab to the apply button and hit the space bar.
8. Tab to the OK button and hit enter. Your done!

 

Now the next time you boot up your system, the computer will automatically boot up using the default account, the account in which you chose in that list view.
