WINXP - One user but still get logon box?

Admiral Huddy · 5 Oct 2007 at 13:43

As per title, I have a PC that only has one user (apart from admin) yet it comes up with the windows login?

How come and can this be corrected.

I'm sure it a registry entry somewhere.

Thanks

If it's XP pro do this:
Start>Run>control userpasswords2>OK>Advanced>Advanced>Users>Right click the .NET account or the extra account (e.g. SUPPORT_388BLAH)>Properties>Account is disabled

Hmm, mine is different...all I did was to go to user account panel and removed .NET account there, thats it.

You'd have £5.67

Cheers .. i forgot that i installed the .net framework as part of the Vista upgrade advisor.. Interestingly, I don't this on my other machine which has it installed.
Sorted anyway.
