Don't Want Password at Boot
When I boot up in XP, I am always asked for a password. I don't want
that. How can I keep XP from asking me for a password?

Re: Don't Want Password at Boot
Open "Tweak UI" and scroll down to 'Logon'.

Tweak UI 2.10 147 KB

This PowerToy gives you access to system settings that are not exposed in the Windows XP
default user interface, including mouse settings, Explorer settings, taskbar settings, and
more.

Start | Run, type "control userpasswords2" Select the account you want
to logon to automatically. Then uncheck the box "Users must enter a
user name and password to use this computer."

Or do the same thing with TweakUI.
