xp login help

[HermitGuy]

Hello all, here's my problem. I have two logins for excessing my XP pro system, one is my main login used most of the time, the other is an account used occasionally for business purposes. I would like to be able to start my computer and go straight to the desktop of my main account but switch logins and go to my second account when needed is this possible. Thanks Hermitguy

Tweak UI

Thanks for the reply. I have tweak ui, how does it do what I'm asking

 

[scottws]

Open TweakUI (Click Start, Programs, Powertoys for Windows XP). Expand the Logon branch, and click Autologon. Turn on the "Log on automatically at......" option, type your username and password, and click Ok.

From: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

As for the logging into the other account when needed, just utilize Fast User Switching.
