2. Uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" check box.

Where is this option?

Did you follow the instructions?

I did it on my XP machine at home last night and it worked a treat, but am on 2K here so can tell you exactly.

Oh yea, sorry. Before i went in VIA control panel. but using RUN worked a treat, thanks.

Yes - i think the part 1 is a bit misleading. It isn't a shorcut to save going through the start menu, it's a separate control panel that's no longer listed in control panel.

Thats what confused me.

All sorted now, thanks for all the replys.
