Windows xp boots straight into account

joki · 4 Feb 2008 at 15:53

Hi,
ive just installed windows onto a new system and for some reason it loads me straight into the account rather than asking me which account i want to g into.

Does anyone know what could be causing it?
Thanks

tweakui allows you to setup autologon for a specific account plus lots lots more too
works in xp, haven't tried it in vista - suspect it won't work

Why use tweakui? Everything you can do with tweakui, you can do in windows without it!
