My roomate got onto my comp and password protected my login, he later told me the password so I could log on and change it. I did that and changed the setting so I didn't need to put in a password everytime... I can log into windows just fine now, but I can't stand pressing enter at the Login. Does anyone know how to disable the user account login prompt so I can just press my power button and have it boot straight to my desktop? --Thanks!

Go to start-run type in "control userpasswords2" without quotes a control box should appear and at the top will be a option "users must enter a username and password to se this computer" untick this and click apply a dialog box should appear and fill this out with the username and password of the user you wish to login automatically. You should now login automatically
