Title: XP Pro Login
Post by: Vermillion on May 28, 2003, 07:27:35 AM

Ok guys, I know this is a dumb question, but its bugging the crap outta me.

I'm use to Win2K systems, but recently installed WinXP Pro on my system at home.

In 2K you can use the check box that says "users have to log in to use this system" in the Users & Accounts icon within control panel.  In XP Pro, under the same icon, you can turn the graphical picture login on/off or use the traditional Novell style login box, but you always have to login.  

Any way to tell XP that I don't want to have to login with this computer?

D/L X-setup from tucows - it has literally dozens of tweaks like how to make your menu reaction speed faster (very handy.)

Sweet, thanks.  Been wondering why my login screen changed (to the novell one I presume) after I hooked up my cable modem.    

Fixed!
