Could any of u people out there please tell me how to get rid of the need to log in to windows on startup.I have read other suggestions before but none seem to work,any suggestions ???
Go into your Windows folder. (or windows\system) and delete all the files with the pwl extention. They should all start with the userid's you have been using. After you delete them restart your computer. When it gets to windows it will ask you for a password. DO NOT ENTER ONE. This should take care of the problem. No more stupid windows logon.
Goodluck, Ron

Ok, don't do what Ron said to do it is not necessary...Log on to windows with the current password that you have and the go to start/settings/control panel/passwords/choose change windows password put in the old password you were using and then leave the new password option blank and then click ok and when you restart your computer you should not have to enter a windows password........I hope that I explained this all properly for you if you have any questions please let me know.......

Have you tried this one?
control panel->network change the client for microsoft-network int windows-logon. reboot. If you are asked to logon, entern your name, but don't enter a password. Click OK and it should be ok. reboot to see if it worked. Johan
AND, if none of these work, try this...Start/Settings/Control Panel/Passwords. Choose the User Profiles tab, and check "all users of this computer use the same prefernece and desktop settings"
