Let "user" log in as default

I manage a publicly used PC running under Win2k. I had to reload the OS last week. During set up, I got query "Assume xx will always log in first?" and the choices were me or the user (with a password). I have never seen this choice before. Anyway, I chose "me ", thinking it wasn't a big deal. The user name is "public ", was originally auto-logged in, and we used no password. (The compute is located in a senior center and security is a non-issue, whereas considering the average user, passwords would be.) Now, on start-up I am autologged in with administrator privileges, of course. Since I am usually not there, this is not good for a public machine. How can I set it up so that "public" is the default log in on start up?

 

Download and install TweakUI

Then in the control panel you can find tweakui. Check out the login tab.

where did tweakui go?

I downloaded tweakui. When I started to use it, I got message saying it worked from "Control Panel did I want to go there" or some such. I clicked yes. Then i went to Control Panel, but find no icons for tweakui. So what did I do or not do?

 

I'll assume you installed it properly by right clicking the .INF file and clicking Install.

I have read
"On some systems for some inexplicable reason this doesn't work. If it doesn't work try following the same procedure on the file of the type control panel extension(*.cpl). "

I don't know if the second part works or not, cuz I never had it not work with the original install procedure.

Sorry for late response. All the above takes place on a computer that I sort of baby sit at a senior center, and I haven't been able to get back there before this. I think it is the second issue, as I couldn't find a .inf file. The message on double clicking is that the app is run from control panel do I want to install it now. I click "yes ", but when I go to cont panel, there is no sign of tweakui. However, if I go to "add/remove programs ", I see tweakui as installed. So, yes, it seems to be installed, but how can i access it? Is the exec file somewhere where I can directly start it, by double clicking, e.g.?

 

Check here.. Just change the username and password. This works for NT, 2K & XP.
