How do I enable autologon in Win 2000?
To enable autologon: • Log on as a member of the Administrators group. • Click Start, Settings, Control Panel and double-click ‘Users and Passwords’. • On the Users tab select the name of the user you want to log on automatically, un-tick ‘Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer’ and click OK. (Note you can’t select a user if that option is un-ticked.) • When the prompt appears enter the password for the user you selected in step 3 and click OK.
