I only have one account on my Windows XP computer, and have guest account disabled. Yet, every time I turn on my computer, I am greeted with the choice of what account to login to, even though there is only one. Am I missing something?
I even tried disabling the welcome screen, and I still get asked to login first.
I have Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
And no, I do not have a password enabled on the account.
I'm constantly annoyed by the windows log-in (welcome) screen. I am the sole user, and there are no other accounts, yet i always need to click 'owner'. I know you can disable this somehow, because i have on my other computer (i forget though).I would like to remove this screen all together.

Getting the blue screen occasionally when I start NetZero's free dial-up program. The blue screen will appear right as the PC is trying to open up a Internet Explorer window, after the dial-up connection has been made successfully. The blue screen states to disable BIOS, but I don't have a clue how to do that

It gets to the windows logo and crashes, a quick flash of a bluescreen which i can't see the error, and restarts. I also do not have the option to disable the restart so i can see this code too.I booted the windows recovery and at the DOS prompt i tried doing chckdsk, fixboot, fixmbr.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have attached a copy of my HJT. Would really appreciate if it can be run through to see if there is anything that I can disable in my start up. The computer that I am using is being shared and I have become concerned over some stuffs. In Service Pack 2, a firewall is included right? Now there is this Zone Alarm downloaded too a few months ago. Is that a firewall program? There is also a Norton Personal Firewall that comes with the PC I know that the anti virus has expired but this firewall thing is still working right? At times like this, I wished I have more knowledge on computers but lucky me.I have you Guys at Tech Support to enlighten.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have become quite irritated by the various strange noises which happen at a "system event". I have found the dialogue box where additional events can be added to the sounds but I cannot see how to turn off the ones already there. I do not want to use "mute all" on the volume control as I frequently listen to music.
Any suggestions welcome.
While in that area of the screen, I want to remove some of the icons. The dialogue box is set to "always hide" the offending Icons but they are still showing.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to connect from my desktop to my laptop using RDC. They are both on my home network. When I RDC into my laptop, I get the login screen as I expected, login, and I'm in.for about two seconds. After that, the connection hangs and eventually RDC drops me
When I log into the laptop itself, the wireless connection icon in the bottom right shows "acquireing network address" for a second, finds it, and then the laptop is on the network again. I'm assuming that when I do RDC into the laptop and the desktop takes over, the network adapter on the laptop thinks it's time to sleep or disable, and drops off the lan. I confirmed this by doing a ping fromthe desktop to the laptop. Before RDC, no problem. After the RDC connection hands, I can't ping the laptop anymore. Once I log into the laptop itself, I can ping the laptop from the desktop
Lots of schools need to run one desktop for all users. Not a standard default user template. But to actually disable user profiles like you could in windows 98.

Running XP on a HP/Compaq NC6000. Had a page from HP site bookmarked that told what registry key to modify. HP has removed the thread, can't find the answer elsewhere. Ideas appreciated.

View 1 Replies View Relatedthis is for the new icq lite currently Build #1253. This will disable advertisment display but, unfortunatly will leave the place holders for the advertisments. Atleast you don't have to stare at those annoying flash advertisments.
1) Open up windows explorer and navigate to the folder you installed icqlite*ie. c:ProgramFilesICQLite
2) Right-click on the folder and chose properties
3) In the properties dialog choose the security tab*note: you may have to enable advanced security to view this tab on some versions of windows
4) In the security tab remove all permissions except for the system and set the system permissions to deny all access for read, write, etc.. for this folder*note: you must have admin right to the machine in most cases and also may need to disable permission inhertince from parent under the advanced tab
5) Apply the changes and restart icq
What you have just done is denied Icq access to its temporary folder where it stores the advertisment information and now advertisments will not be displayed. This will work with any icq version as long as you can find the folder where it saves its advertisment info.
