Account login screen XP Pro

[carbon8ed]

I'm sure there is a tweak but can't remember.

I have installed XP Pre and it is my computer so onl my account, I enetered my name when XP finalised setup.

The problem I have is that whenever windows starts, I have to clock on my account name to get in. There is no password.

This is a problem because windows updates automatically, so when it revboots, my PC will sit idle until I click on my account name (runs BOINC btw).

How can I bypass this so windows starts automatically. Cheers

I believe the TweakUI Powertoy from Microsoft has the ability to auto-login an account.

Edit: Install it, run it. Under the "logon" section there's a tab called "autologin". Works a treat

Start Menu > Run > type in control userpasswords2 and hit Enter.

Highlight the user you wish to be logged in automatically, UNtick "users must enter a user name and..." and re-enter the password.
