You guys know how when you start windows, it goes into the choose operator screen. Well the only one i have is the 1 admin account. is there a way to turn it off so it just boots straight into windows without having to click that? I like things streamlined and fast.

Thanks for any replies!

In XP, while logged in as admin, open a command prompt and type:

control userpasswords2

Uncheck "Users must enter a password to enter this computer"

click on owner
then try it again, it should work but if it doesn't then there may be a problem in itself.
I've seen some popular tweak tools mess up windows settings, tweaking tools you don't need if you know where the windows settings are.

Still didnt work, Does it have something to do with all the other usernames? I dont use those other ones can I delet them. Like what the heck is asp.net? is that required for something because I didnt add it and I installed this OS.
