My old version of XP has never required a log-in, as I
remember.  

Now, the new version requires that I click on my name before
it will load XP Pro.

I managed to eliminate the password, but how do I eliminate
the log-in entirely?

Many thanks,

Hi

If you want to Autologon onto Windows:

Download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx and
when installed go to Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI - then go to
Logon>Autologon

Oops!  I spoke to soon.   Didn't tell you that the system is
a 64-bit system...

TweakUI won't run on that.

Remove the check mark next to Users must enter a user name and pasword
to use this computer.

You're welcome. I didn't have much luck using Tweak UI to do this.
