I have a P2 366MHz 128MB laptop running XP Pro. I followed a link on one of the Forums (I cannot remember which) which set up the computer to automatically log onto the Administrative Account.

I now regret this change but cannot undo it. I have tried Tweak XP but even this will not change it.

Can anyone offer me a solution?

many thanks
 
in run type

control userpasswords2

then tick the box that says users must enter a name + password 2 use this computer:cool:
 
Many thanks Henyman. I know I am physically very old (pension next year) but I did not realize how dumb I am getting. I used control userpassword2 to make the original change but completely forgot. I only made the change a couple of days ago.

Is there a reference/link giving me more inf on commands such as the one above or must i pick the up piecemeal?

Happy New Year.
 
so you know, that option is in the Microsoft TweakUI
 
indeed it is Geffy....under logon. i no all the comands such as control userpasswords2 from just picking them up. u can probebly google them if u want 2 find a site with them all on
:cool:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
