    Hi all:

    My WIN XP machine is driving me crazy. Whenever I turn it on, it automatically logs on to the administrator account, so I have to log off and then log on to my usual account. I dug around the control panel in the "user accounts" but could find no way to make my usual account the default.

    Does any one know how to make it default into my user account instead of the administrator account?

    All help is greatly appreciated

    Hey-

    Go to start and run and type "control userpasswords2" (minus the ").

    This will give you the user login screen.


    Hope this is what you wanted.
