| 636947 | 2008-02-03 06:06:00 | Todays question: When I start Windows XP Pro - I get to a screen which says: "Windows XP Pro. To begin, check your user name." How do I get rid of that, and by doing so, get Windows just to open up ready to use? I must have changed something last week while 'fixing' my wireless networking problems. :( TIA, as always. I rely on you! :) |

| 636949 | 2008-02-03 06:14:00 | Start, Control panel, User accounts, change the way users logon. Tick untick the options you want. I only have one account enabled and mine is set to use Welcome screen and fast user switching. |

| 636950 | 2008-02-03 06:24:00 | Thanks for that - yes that's what I've done. :) BUT do I need this screen at all? It didn't use to show up. My 'puter just started, did all it's things without me clicking on anything. I dpn't mind clicking on something, but after I click - then it takes a while to get to usable stage. I tend to 'push the start button' and go away and do something else while it does it's thing. Now I have to relearn to push start, wait and push the logon screen, and THEN go away and come back later... Not a biggy, just nuisance value. :( |

| 636951 | 2008-02-03 06:49:00 | With mine I do get the welcome screen and not get a log in screen. There again I do not have a password set either as I am the only person here. Do you have offline files enabled? |

| 636952 | 2008-02-03 07:00:00 | Um - what do you mean by offline files enabled? I'm not getting a log in screen either (at least I've got rid of that!) . I have recollections of seeing that somewhere during this last week - but can't remember where! Should it be enabled or not? |

| 636953 | 2008-02-03 19:59:00 | Download and install Windows XP PowerToys. Once installed go to Start>All Programs>PowerToys for Windows XP>TweakUI for Windows XP. Expand the Logon item and click Autologon. Enter details and reboot. |

Expand the Logon item and click Autologon. Enter details and reboot. Yes - I thought that would be the answer to my problems. But sadly no. :( Oh well - I suppose I can live with it! |
