Windows XP User Login each time I start up! Help!

[Master]

I'm the only user of my computer. Ever since I updated the .NET thing from www.windowsupdate.com, I get this login screen (no need password) that I need to click before my windows load up. How do I get rid of that so that it will just load everything when I power up?

Thanks!

Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the way users log on or off -> Uncheck Use the Welcome Screen.

Thanks a million! You wouldn't know how much grief you have saved me from!

LOL ! You want to give me a reason so that I can also turn it off on my PC.

Thats great - how can I prevent Xp from going into that hibernate screen where I have to clik on my Username. It also tells me how many progs are running. I'd rather just not have this stupid screeen

[Master]

Oh no...It is still there. Except it is worse now, I have to type in my username but no password to complete the load up. I quickly switched back the Welcome screen. So, any more ideas? I still have to click on that administrator icon to complete the windows loadup! Help!

Start -> Run -> type control userpasswords2 and enter

Uncheck box for User must enter name and password....

Thanks again advantage21

Right click anywhere on Desktop -> Properties -> Screensaver -> Uncheck On resume, display Welcome screen

1. is there any "normal" way to get to that screen?

2. Also, I have sharing my files on my network but I want to give a Read Only option to user A, and Read&Write permission to user B. it seems that I can't find the permission buttom on "sharing files" option. Is it hidding somewhere else? I can find it in WinXP server or Win 2000.

Thanz for your tips.

1. Not that I know of.

2. You must be using XP Home, if so, the Sharing & Security option is only available if you boot in Safe Mode.

no, i m using xp corp ed. that's what i was thinking. That permission page is gone. I know xp home doesn't have it.

Do you know why?

They removed it from XP non-server for some reason. MS seems to think they know better than us when it's time to share our files

That feature was so useful in Win2k.

i just bring back this post because i found that Permission page.

go to window explorer, Tools, folder options, view, "advanced setting" deselect the "simple file sharing"!!!!!

god, i was trying to find that small buttom for the past two years!
