Limited account, password protected.

A few days ago my Windows started prompting me to choose an account at startup, where as it booted directly into Windows before. Any help apreciated.:)

Are you serious?! Damn... that's gonna be a lot of work. How about my data HD? And how did this get on my system?

that happens when you install .NET framework... its actually a vulnerability i think cause when you install the 1.1 Service pack and then the 1.1 service pack patch update on top of that it gets rid of it... so just run WU again! :)

That should be worth a ban in this forum.

Use tweakui to hide that user. It's normal to be there (but a bug to be on the welcome screen) and part of .NET
