- Log On Query
- Posted by KiwiBrian on November 8th, 2005
I have 2 PCs both running XP Pro.
As I am the only user I gather that I am the administrator on both.
On one of them when I power on I am not asked to log on.
That is how I want it.
On the other I am presented with a "Log on to Windows" dialogue box and
asked for a password.
I just hit "enter" without entering anything and it continues booting
normally.
How do I stop it from asking, so it boots straight up like the other one?
I cannot spot any difference in settings or find the answer in Google.
TIA
