How do I make winxp NOT ask for a password on logon?

Post by Guest »

Even though theres no password set, it still displays the logon screen that asks for a password when I boot.

Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type "control userpasswords2", and then click OK.
In the dialog box that appears, clear the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer check box, and then click OK.

Then that's why. Since you don't have a password to enter, then there's no point in displaying the password box.

[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.
