Go to Start>Run, type in "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes, with the space after "control"), click OK.
Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer," click OK.
In the dialog box that opens, enter the user account name and password you want to log onto automatically. If there is no password, leave it blank, click OK.
Also, if you installed the .NET Framework Update, it creates a user that is hidden from view on the welcome screen. If you delete this and it should log you on automatically if there is a blank password.
have run "control userpasswords2" and fixed it, thanks a lot!
got a few problems:
- in my old OS (98se), when i selected "shut down", the case had shutted down itself, but now the computer says "it's now safe to shut down". how can i make my computer to shut down by itself again?
- i installed XP with hebrew support (during installation, selected the right to left languages), and i do see hebrew fonts in some of my progs.
but in example, winamp or media player doesn't seem to read files with hebrew names and can't play them. is there any other support for hebrew in XP, like system fonts or files pack?

- who do you think started this forum and designed it for folks with questions that needed answers?
- who do you think does all the serious admin work to keep it running?
- who do you think recruited all the (unpaid) staff who keep things civil enough that we can help folks and try to make sure they all get answers?
- who do you think spends quite a bit more money out of his pocket than this forum could possibly generate for him?
No need for much thought since Arie is the answer to all the above. I don't really think he has earned your remarks.
Re: meaningful thread titles - lots of people who never post on here do use the forum. They mostly come on and search. Lots of users search before they post since they hope for a solution but may not find one. If you've ever done a search on here, you might have noticed you got tons of hits and many did not apply to your issue. Usual is to look down thru the list and open those with titles that look likely.
What sort of problem, exactly, do you think a title 'The Strangest Thing' would cause a user to say, "Hey, that one may help" and open it?
FWIW, if I'd seen the thread first I'd have made the same comment about posting rules and thread titles. Lots of new posters don't really think about it but when it's point out, they understand and do fine in the future.
