Hello:

I have (and have been using for some time) a Win XP Pro machine which
had always booted up to the desktop.

I am the only user, so a user-logon screen is unnecessary.

After installing some (HP) all-in-one printer software, the system now
boots up to the User Logon screen.

How do I change this so that the pc will again boot to my desktop as
it did previously?

Thanks in advance,
TomC
ps: This is important as this machine boots up (from BIOS) during the
night and runs a script - which it cannot do if it is not booted into
the desktop.

This isn't really the right place for this question but I'll give a
rough answer.
Windows will show the login prompt if there is more than one enabled
local user, a password has been set, or it's part of a domain.

You can "fix" this by disabling whichever user the printer software
created, or if you don;t want to do that, use the SysInternal AutoLogin
app or TweakUI to configure an auto login.

Hello Dee:

That sounds like helpful information - I'll try it.

Where is the better/best place/newsgroup to post these types of
questions?

Thanks
