    I have a user running Windows 2000 on a laptop. Starting
    today, when he restarts or boots the system, Windows logs
    him into the network without asking for his credentials.
    The logon screen shows up, but it is grayed out and it
    only shows on the screen for a few seconds.

    If he logs out then tries to log back in, it does prompt
    him, but if he restarts the unit, it doesn't ask.

    This seems like a security hole.

    Any thoughts?
