help with MCE

unwashed potato! · 21 Mar 2006 at 23:08

i have windows MCE and am finding just one problem with it at the moment that i can remeber. It is that as im on a network at my house it asks me to sign in whenever i start up my cmoputer, which i find hugely annoying as i like to just leave my computer starting up while i do something else then just come back to it and its fully loaded ready for me to use. What i would like to know is, is there a way in which i could prevent this from happening? i used to use windows98 and it never askked me to sign in. i have no password for my account if that makes and difference.

thankyou

Go to Start -> Run and type "control userpasswords2"
Deselect "user must enter a username and password to use this computer"
Click apply
It will ask for a default username and password to use when booting, select your chosen user account
This will get rid of the username/password prompt when powering on the system

I think that should do it.

googling xp auto logon gets you the same answer by the way

If you have installed the .net framework as required for most MCE applications then just delete the .net account that is automatically created. Problem solved
