Before running Regedit today, my computer would automatically enter my Username and Password at startup. I live alone and am the only person using this computer. How can I make it return to that mode?
I can't be certain, but try going into the control panel then users, click on the line that says change the way users log on or off, then uncheck the welcome screen, see if that helps.
Press WinKey+R or click on Start then Run, enter control userpasswords2 and press Enter or click OK.
Check the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" checkbox then click Apply. If it's already checked, skip to step 3.
Select the user you want to be automatically logged on by clicking on it.
Uncheck the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" checkbox then click Apply.
When you do this another window will open with the userid you selected showing (you can enter a different one if the wrong one is showing). Enter the password if there is one, leave blank otherwise. Click OK and you're done. Next boot, the userid you selected should be automatically logged on.
Thanks for the help. I resolved the password issue using the "control usperpassword2" method. But it opened up some new questions I'd like to understand.IDThe user id screen had the following entries:
USERNAME GROUP
administrators administrators
Aspnet users
guest guests
MyName Debugger user; administrator
The ID i've been using is the one with MyName. I first assumed it was the top one. But what is a DEBUGGER USER? How does this differ from the top one- Administrators? What is Aspnet.
Thanks very much if you can enlighten me on these questions.
