Hi
XP pro SP3
I am a single user with full Admin rights, i did not like to have to log in
with a user name so I followed instructions ib my XP book.
eg:- Start - Run
Enter text:- control userpasswords2 Press Enter

remove check mark Users Must Enter.....

Enter the user name and password you want to log on automatically

So I thought use Home and then a password but this was not my name or the
administrators(me) now when I log on I get an error, if I click OK everything
works fine.
When I go to the Users Account GUI up at the top on the grey section left
hand corner to the right of the Right Green Arrow there is added User Account
Icon with the name:- Home
All attempts to clear this has failed, can you help please?

Error msg:-
The system could not log you on. Make sure your user name and domain are
correct. then type your password again, letters in passwords must be typed
using correct case.
Behind this error message, the XP login GUI can be seen but it is never
active because after you click OK login is completed.

Re: User Account Logon

Try changing the user name of the local user account.

Re: User Account Logon

Hi Kelly
Thanks for your post, I did try that and also creating a user called Home,
what I think I need is a way to reverse the control userpasswords2 action.
Like is there a userpasswords0 or 1. Any ideas?
