Steven:

Thanks for your reply. I did try your suggestion, and the setting wa
already set at what you had suggested. However, I did try the suggestion
in
this thread by Nepatsfan, and that did work. Such a simple thing, but yet
I
would have never known this otherwise. Thank you for trying with your
repsonse, I appreciate the effort.

In XP Pro there is a security option that you can set to manage last

behaviour that you may want to check out. Use secpol.msc to open Local
Security Policy and then go to local policies/security options. Look for
the
option for interactive logon: do not display last user name and try
setting
it to disabled to see if that helps.

Hello:

I have a workstation running off of Window XP SP2, and have a problem
with
the system remembering the last logon user name after rebooting.

I am using a user name that has administrator rights, but it is not the
default system administrator account. I also have it configured that I
do
not have to manually put in the user name (I don't require a password),
and
it automatically boots right past the logon screen.

The problem is that when it boots up, it "defaults" back to the system
administrator account, then I have to log off and then relog on to get
back
to the user account I want to be in.

Are there some settings (or reset) that I am missing?

Thanks
