DISABLE PASSWORD ENTRY AT STARTUP
Some of you may have bought your computer
already configured such that you have to enter a User ID
and a Password when you first turn on your computer. With
this feature enabled, more than one user can log on to
the computer and each can have his/her own settings for
Desktop icons, Start Menu, background patterns, screen
saver, etc. However, if you are the only user for the
computer and you don't want to have to enter a User ID
and Password, you can get rid of it.
First, right-click on the Network Neighborhood icon, and
select Properties from the context menu that drops down.
Click on the Configuration tab and select Windows Logon
from the Primary Logon menu. Click OK, then respond No
when Windows prompts you to restart your pc. Click the
Start button, then select Settings, then Control Panel.
Double-click the Passwords icon.
Click the User Profiles tab. Select "All users of
this computer use the same preferences and desktop
settings". Click the Change Password tab, then click
the Change Windows Password button. Enter a blank
password, then click OK. The next time you start up the
computer, you won't be asked for a User ID and password.
