[BC] A brain cramp and a Windows reboot question...

[Sid Schweiger]

>>I know we've covered this in the past but, could someone please refresh my
memory in the procedure for getting XP Pro to NOT ask for a password (or to
"please select a user account") on reboot?<<

Remember our motto:  You can make something fool-proof, but you can never make it damned-fool-proof.

Start > Run > control userpasswords2 > OK

You'll get the Windows 2000-style Users and Passwords dialog.  Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer," near the top of the Users tab.  You'll be prompted for the user name and password of the account which will now log in without user intervention.
