hello guys...

first i want to site some instances....

whenever you start your pc, and start your operating system (windows xp), you have to sign in first your user name and password so windows can log you in, right? ....


my question is this:


can somebody teach me how to configure windows so that it will never again ask for a user name and password ? what i mean is: windows will log a certain users automatically (administrator or guest)....

Hopefully this will do the job.
NOTE: It only works when you've got only 1 user on your PC. If not, as far as I know there is no way to automatically log on.

i cant see the link: Use the Welcome screen for fast and easy logon

what i see is Use the Welcome screen only

SUMMARY

This article describes how to automatically log on to a user account during the Microsoft Windows XP startup process.

Note This process only works if the computer is not joined to a domain.

Requirements

Make the Welcome Screen available

To make the Welcome screen available, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click User Accounts.
2. Click Change the way users log on or off.
3. Click to select the Use the Welcome screen for fast and easy logon check box.
4. Click OK.
Remove the password from a user account

To remove the password from a user account, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click User Accounts.
2. Click the user account.
3. Click Remove my password.
4. Type the password in the Type your current password box, and then click Remove Password.


This is the text copied from the Microsoft site, this is the best I could find about automatically log in to Windows XP.

When you click on "change the way users logon and logoff" do you get a popup like the one shown below:
If so you need to click OK and disable offline files.

If its already disabled then you probably won't receive that message in which case you can select the "Use the Welcome Screen" and follow the rest of the instructions listed by bluefish.

Thanks for posting that Zimbo!
