250583 2004-07-08 00:55:00 Hi people my Pc used to automatically logon with the welcome screen but now it forces me to use the old style logon (eg Win 98 etc). I have checked in User profiles and use the welcome screen is selected so im not sure as to whats going on. Any ideas on what I can try to get it logging on automatically again would be very much appreciated. overdrive_5000 (1684)

250585 2004-07-08 01:16:00 Go to Start - Run and type in:

control userpasswords2

and click OK

Uncheck the first option at the top "Users must enter an usersname...."

Then it will ask which username and password you want to use to automatically login.
