[nfbcs] Logon prompt

[Wunder, Gary]

It looks like I have two accounts - Gary and Guest. It is not obvious to
me how to delete Guest so there will be no choice. Thanks though. It
gives me a place to work.

I'll also look for that checkbox.

Gary

In XP, go to control panel, and then user accounts. Select the user
account you want and open it. Some where in there is the option for
setting a password. I am pretty sure that it is a check box and if
un-checked it ignores the password box. You probably have to restart for
the changes to take effect.

If that doesn't actually solve the problem, then check to see if you
have created other user accounts. If you have, then you have to delete
those so that you only have the one user account. Any time you have more
than one, it will always require you to select which user you want to
use irregardless of needing a password. For instance, my father's
computer is setup with three users, his and mine have passwords because
we are administrators. My mothers does not have a password but she still
has to select her account when she wants to use the computer.

If you are using Vista, I am not fluent in that but it should again be
under user accounts some where.

Good luck.

Cindy
