Hey:

I want to be able to automatically log onto my user account after sleep or
shutdown. I unchecked 'require password etc.' under 'control
userpasswords2'. But it keeps logging on to an administrator account.Is
there a way to make the computer open at the desktop of my standard account?
I would like the administrator account to be password protected.

Thanks,
Ed H

Hello Ed,
Whichever account you were on before you put the computer to sleep
mode, you'll come back to the SAME account after the sleep mode. It
won't switch to your admin account if you were not on that account
before sleep mode.

other account

Hello Ed,
I had tried that "wake up without password ", and it happened as I said
earlier. There is one difference. I don't have SP1. Too many bugs in the
supposedly "bugs fixer".
Here is a link to go to Microsoft Help & Support Center. It provides
FREE e-mail support, Chat support and Phone support. See if they can
help you.

Hi Ed,

Make sure when setting up the autologon that you select the appropriate user
account prior to delecting the option requiring a username and password.

Bingo, I didn't even notice that the administrator account was the
highlighted one.

Thanks again,

Maybe you should add "Operator Asleep" to that sig.
