Does anyone know how to get this silly thing to quit asking my wife and me if we are sure we want to logoff when we switch profiles.

simple problem here, you can simply hit escape everytime but if you want it gone:
go to start then find or search depending on version of windows, now type *.pwl and search the whole c: drive

1: this will list passwords for each user, change theappropriate ones to .xxx [you can delete them, but if they are the wrong ones, it's easy to find the .xxx files and rename them back to .pwl]

2: now goto control panel\network and change "Primary Network Logon" to "Windows Logon" and click apply and ok.

3: system will want to reboot, when it restarts it will ask for a password, just click ok leaving it blank and that will be the last you see of that.

told ya it was easy, any problems write me :

I tried that first, except for the part about clearing all passwords. Which are blank lines anyway. Still the stupid thing wants to ask "Are you sure you want to log off?" only when we switch profiles.
