| 538944 | 2007-04-08 02:26:00 | Hi Guys I run XP home I used to switch on and go right to my desk top. I followed the advise of updating and now for my sins, half way on loading up my comp. freezes and asks me to click on my user name and then I have to wait before I get to my desk top. Question: whatever it is, ‘can I get rid of it’, if so, ‘how please’? John |

At a command prompt, type "control userpasswords2" and press Enter to open the Windows 2000-style User Accounts application. 2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then click OK. 3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user name and password for the account you want to be logged on each time you start your computer. |

| 538950 | 2007-04-08 03:32:00 | Actually, Ignore that, I have both ticked and after removing my password was able to just boot straight to my desktop. Its the creation of teh second user account that has caused it to stop mid-boot and ask for you to select yourself, delete the secondary account and you should be fine. |
