Sorry folks, I forgot to mention I'm running xp home sp2 In a message dated 7/2/2008 12:52:04 PM Pacific Standard Time, Phillipwlly writes: I hope this is the right list for this! I recently added a password log-in for windows because of visiting kids that previously caught a nasty virus on my mother's PC leading to a re-format. Kids are gone now and I want to get back to no log-in screen at all when powering up. I went to control panel / users and deleted the password but screen still appears. I just have to hit ENTER to continue but I really prefer to get back to origional setting. It also seems to take longer for windows to load since adding the password screen. I've seen this addressed before, but can't locate it in archives.
