Want to logon as User by default in XP Pro

by penimagic . Updated 19 years, 1 month ago

Hi. I’ve just upgraded to XP Pro from Win2000, on 1 computer on a network. The other machines are running XP Home, and prior to this upgrade, everybody could see everybody else’s computer, no problem.
Now, however, the other computers have to enter the user name and password of the Pro machine before it will let them in. But that’s not the worst of it…..
When I boot up, it always logs onto Administrator, not my User account. I then have to log off and on again as me. This is a real waste of time, and I just want to have one User account and go straight into that, like I used to.
I’ve read lots of Q&As about Safe Mode to get into Administrator, but my problem is not finding Administrator, but losing it!!
Anyone got any ideas? It’s a real bind, especially when I’m in a hurry to check email or something.
Thanx.
