XP log on settings changing.

When I bought this computer only one user account, named user 1 was displayed at start up. It has adminstrator privileges.

Using Tweak UI I set logon to automatic. This worked fine. I renamed the account to my name and it still worked.

Just recently, for reasons unknown, another account, named Administrator, appears too, and I have to click on the one I renamed so that Windows opens.
I have been installing applications which I had on a previous machine but don't see how that could have caused this.

When I open Tweak UI again, the box to force automatic logon is empty. After ticking it again, automatic logon works after the first reboot but not on subsequent ones.

Can I remove the Administrator account from the log on screen or do something else to overcome this annoyance?

 

Hey dmb06851, scroll down to the "Let Me Fix It Myself" section, and see if this helps you out, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281140

 

Thank you Nick,that worked.

I have now made a shortcut to that item and saved it in my Help folder.

 

You're very welcome, I'm just glad you have it worked out. :wave
