I had issues with update notices remaining on my 'Turn Off' icon, even though the udates were installed [and listed in my Add/Remove Programs] I spoke to Microsoft and they re-installed completely the Security software [took about 90 minutes] and the issue is resolved [I hope]..... however, NOW I have to select the OWNER icon during a startup before it will finalize the reboot.... I've checked with User Accounts, but don't really see what to check/un-check to allow me to just go into my study, hit the start button on the tower and go fix a cup of tea while waiting for the computer to fully boot up.....
How do I eliminate the requirement for hitting the OWNER icon now?????
It's a home computer and I'm the only one using it....

Windows XP Pro

Thanks in advance.....you may email me if you like...

Select Run from the Start Menu, type control userpasswords2, and click OK or press Enter.

Turn off the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer option, and click Apply. You will be prompted to chose a user that you want to be automatically logged on, so enter your userid (and password if you have one). Note: If it's already off, check it, apply it then uncheck and apply it.
