Windows 7 welcome screen

I am aware that this is not a windows 7 group, there doesn't appear to be
one. If there is please let me know. My question may nevertheless be
answerable because there is much similarity between vista and seven.

Question: Is there a way to get rid of the welcome screen and the necessity
to enter a password when you start up?

Many thanks,
Zach

Unfortunately it's highly unlikely that there will be any Microsoft
Windows 7 newsgroups. Apparently Microsoft has decided that web-based
forums are better than newsgroups and they are putting their efforts
there. I'm personally sorry that's the case, but it's their decision,
not mine. Go to
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...ult.aspx?tab=2

However there is at least one non-Microsoft Windows 7 newsgroup:
alt.windows7.general. Not all servers carry it (at least not yet), but
here's one free news server that does: aioe.org

Go to Start, 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."

Type "control userpasswords2" (no quotes) in a run box

Highlight your account

Uncheck the box that says "Users must enter a user name and password to use
this computer

If I do that, I get an error message at startup saying the password is
faulty. I am then led on to another screen where I can enter my original
password, and thank heavens the machine starts up.

Then there is something that you are doing wrong or something is wrong with your
original setup. The instructions that were given to you by John is correct and it is
the way to do what you are trying to achieve

I have found out what I did wrong. I should have entered my password, which
at first didn't seem logical, given that I wanted to get rid of it. The
Lord has strange ways.

Nothing on NNTP, (the normal microsoft newsgroups), such as vista.general
etc.

Microsoft's are even stranger. It seems from this thread that 7 is no les
geeky than v*sta. Do you still have to go to Start to Stop?
