deuces wild Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I now have to log on when rebooting. This just started. I use Win XP Home. Any ideas on how to boot to windows without getting the logon screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuces wild Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Darn....that did not work either...it just changed the view of the log on screen to the classic windows view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Have you recently updated to the .Net Framework v1.1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 If that is a windows app, then possibly as I am on automatic updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I still cannot understand why this anomaly was included in an update by MS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I still cannot understand why this anomaly was included in an update by MS.I still don't understand why people don't want to login to Windows - you can use automated login. Logging in with a good password protects you from all kinds of things.Having a firewall, antivirus and antispyware gives us quite a secure feeling, but a good logon password just gives an additional level of protection.

I can, if I want to, set the machine up to require logging on, I did not want it forced upon me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
