827176 2009-11-04 22:23:00 When I boot up I get to the "Welcome" page and am then presented with two options, ADMINISTRATOR or JACK. I have to chose between them.
How do I get rid of this.
I just want to boot to "Jack".
There are no passwords.
Thanks,
Jack

827177 2009-11-04 22:26:00 Go to the control panel area and users, assuming "Jack" is an administrator just delete the admin account. Or maybe delete jack and rename admin to jack. Nothing new about this just like Win2k,Xp.

To boot straight in delete the password by entering nothing as the password.

827178 2009-11-04 22:28:00 Might be an option to boot automatically into Jack. But you might need TweakUI. Did it in xp nedkelly (9059)

827180 2009-11-05 00:16:00 1) Assign a password to "Jack"
2) Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to launch the “Run” dialog box.
3) Type in control userpasswords2
4) Press Enter. The User Accounts window will display.
5) Uncheck the option “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”
6) Click “OK”
7) You will then be prompted to enter the current password and confirm it.

After doing so, you will no longer be prompted to enter your password upon login.

It's easy if you know where to look, but knowing where to go is half the issue ;)

you dont need to assign a password if you dont want to - just leave the passwords bit blank if you dont have a password in the first place - works well :thumbs:

827182 2009-11-05 03:26:00 Admin means the Admin account has been enabled. Dis-enable it.
You using Ultimate Windows Tweaker??

Yea do this: Right-click Computer icon on the desktop and select Manage.
If the Computer icon is not showing on the desktop you can do the same on the Computer on the Start menu.

In the Computer Management window go to Local Users & Groups - Users and right-click on Administrator and select Properties.
Make sure that the 'Account is Disabled' box is ticked.

827185 2009-11-05 20:06:00 Well after trying all suggestions I have come up with my own solution.

I have removed all accounts except administrator. No shareing of any sort
I start up as administrator and stay there.

Everything is as I want it.
Can anyone foresee any problems? Don't mention security.
