187004 2003-10-27 04:14:00 Hi there

Can anyone explain how to ensure that on startup a particular user is loaded by default. At present I have two different users on the system and even if I shut down without logging out, the same user is not reloaded at next startup.

I'm running windows98.

If you create a user account without a password (Or remove the PWD from your account) it should sign them in automatically if you've got Windows Login, or Microsoft Family Login selected by default under your Network Properties.

Either that or goto superrsoft.com and get Super Rabbit Magic Set.
Ive used that tool to make login MANDATORY with 98 so you can hit Esc or create a new user... Among other things :-)

Please note: Dont bother asking me how I did it, I wouldnt have a clue coz I formatted immediately.. I'd removed all users so it wouldnt lemme in at all :-(

Hope this helps

Research first and read instructions regrding registry changes . Implement at your own risk .
