In windows 2000 my computer always comes up default to log in as somename and I have to change it to Administrator every time. How can I set it to come up as the last person who logged in?

By default, Windows 2000 places the user ID of the last person to successfully log in the log-on window. The only other option is to not display the last successful log-on, and this is set through Group Policy. If someone else's name is showing up, they are logging on to that computer behind your back.

No, Windows also has an option to always assume the same person logs in when you install it. I just don't know how to change it after the install.

...by chance do you have a 'utility' called TweakUI installed? It can be set to automatically log on a pre-set name and password. Look in Control Panel for it, check the 'Login' tab...
