XP Auto Logon

If your computer is only used by yourself in a home office, you can turn on automatic logon in Microsoft Windows XP. It is not a good idea to do this if more than one person will be using a computer, and they each have personal settings. If you would like to do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2 and then click OK.
3. Uncheck the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" check box, and then click Apply.
4. In the Automatically Log On window, type the password (if any) in the Password box, and then retype the password in the Confirm Password box.
5. Click OK to close the Automatically Log On window, and then click OK to close the User Accounts window.
