    hello, i searched the forum, no one had this posted before, so i want to ask: After i did update on my Windows XP, as i turn on PC it brings up a blue screen with user options (there is only 1 user its me) so i click on my user icon and it logges me in, how can i get rid off this option? I tried going to controll panel > user accounts and nothing helped.

    I was told there is a way by going to strat > run and type something in, any ideas?

    thanks

    Start, Run, type in "control userpasswords2" (no quotes)

    Uncheck the box, "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer".

    did all that, it woked but it logged me into diffent account, everything on desktop was like as if u just bought new PC and installed Windows XP it was asking me for quick XP tour and things likes that.

    I have 3 User accounts:

    My one that i use
    Guest which is turned off
    ASP.NET limited acount (dunno whats that)


    so what should i do?

    ASP.NET = Account used for running the ASP.NET worker process (aspnet_wp.exe)

    I believe that's installed when you install the .Net Framework. You could try turning it off, or disabling it.

    What happens when you go to the Control Panel, User Accounts, Change the way users log on or off, and uncheck "Use the Welcome Screen". This, along with what I first posted, should log you right in.

    ok its all sorted now, all i did is: create a new DWORD called ASPNET under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList.


    thanks for your help.

    For future reference, you can do this as well:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
    Explorer

    Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called "NoWelcomeScreen".

    Set the value to 1 to disable the Welcome Screen, or 0 to keep it.
