Win 7 welcome screen

[mavers]

I've just installed win7 on my HTPC. I've created two accounts, admin and XBMC. How would i configure the PC so it always loads up straight into XBMC?

Do you just want it to start up at the same time as your PC?

The easiest way is probably to set it up as a scheduled task by going to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Task Scheduler

Create a new task, set to 'When I log on' and point it at XBMC

Alternatively, you could just drag a shortcut to XBMC into Start -> All Programs -> Startup

Hope this helps

Sorry, the username is called XBMC.
I'd like the pc to load up and go straight into the desktop of XBMC.

Currently: Switch on PC, goes to welcome screen. Two users XBMC and Admin.

Aah, so you just want it to log into the XBMC account automatically?

try this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963905
It's a little program from Microsoft to configure the existing Autologon features built into Windows

Works perfectly. Thanks!

You could also run "control userpasswords2" and then simply select the user you want to autologin.
