This problem I'm having is that Windows does not prompt me to log on when I boot up. I have to click Start > Log Off and then it brings up the logon screen and I can log on with my username & password. I NEED it to either prompt me to login every time I start Windows or log my user in automatically. I have tried re-installing windows, removing & re-installing all network protocols, services & adapters, deleting all .pwl files, etc. Does anyone know what else I can try? Thanks in advance for the help!

Primary network logon is probably Windows logon. Open Network in control panel and change to "client for MS network" as primary logon.

Nope. Primary Network Logon is set to Client for Microsoft Networks already...

Open regedit and do a search for "autologon"

If you find this key delete it.

Rember messing with the registry can be harmful to you system, BACKUP first before making any changes.

It wasn't in there... Any other possibilities?
