When I set my PC up I went from boot up to the desktop directly. I changed
the password and now I have to log in. I want to set it up so I don't have
to log in and go directly to desktop
thank you

Hi,

Press the Windows key and R together, then in the Run box, type
"control Userpasswords2" (without the quotes). Select Okay.
Then select your user name and THEN uncheck the box marked "Users must enter
a user name and password to use this computer". Then select apply.

Click Start - type "Control userpasswords2" (may have to accept the UAC
prompt) uncheck "Users must enter a
username and password to use this computer" - Enter the correct username
and password.

Hope this helps!

Start | Run, type "control userpasswords2" Select the account you want to
logon to automatically. Then uncheck the box "Users must enter a user name
and password to use this computer."

Or do the same thing with TweakUI.

Has MS finally released a version of TweakUI for Vista?

No. My apologies; I mistakenly though I replied to a Windows XP question.
