Log In Question

[jimras]

I had to do a complete re-install and reformat with WinXP Pro

Now, every time I boot up, I get asked if I want to log in as "me" or as the administrator.

I didn't used to get asked this, it always logged me in as "me".

How do I do this again? Does somebody know what the settings have to be??

Thanks!

This should help.

Open up your start menu and click on the picture by your name at the top. This will open up the "User Accounts" menu. At the top, click on 'Home". Where it asks "Pick a task", Choose "change the way users log on or off"

Uncheck "Use the Welcome screen, and "Use Fast User Switching"

Click on "Apply Options"

Then put a check back on "Use the Welcome screen"

Click on "Apply Options" and then exit.

That should set it to open stright to your desktop.

Thanks for the input, JSKY.

I did all the stuff you suggested but it didn't work.

I still get the screen asking which profile to load

you need to change the name of the administrator account to your name, then delete account that you have set up as your screen. AS long as you have 2 user accountants set up on the system it will give you that screen.

log in Administrator,

then choose start, control panel, user accounts.

Delete the screen that you set up your name under,

then change the name of the administrator account to your name.

apply and save.

This will take care of your problem

As long as there is 2+ users on windows, windows will always ask to log in. To auto log in, delete one of the users (whichever one, i'm not sure which one is more important) and make sure the remaining one doesn't have a password.
