Are you referring to auto logging into your account?

Sounds like you have more than one user set up on the system.
So if you get rid of the log on screen and it always boots into your account
how would the other users get to their accounts??
They would automatically open your account and be able to see and use
everything you have....then they need to "change users".

You are correct and I realize that.  All secure data is stored on password
protected thumbdrives since I have very few.

I just wanted to skip the login process since i use 98% of time.

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.

I had to enter a password in TweakUI and then it had to match the one in
login setup and since I didn't have one, I had to enter one.

So it works automatically now, from bootup to my homepage/desktop.

tks Ken.
