Question lOG IN
When I start Vista Home Premium, I get a WINDOWS SECURITY WINDOW asking me to log in. I Want to bypass this screen and NOT have to log in each time I start my computer. Next window has a GUEST button and (MY NAME) button and requires me to log in. How can I delete these buttons and use the computer without logging in ?

Type netplwiz in the Start Menu’s Search box, and hit enter

Uncheck, "users must enter a username and password to use this computer"

Apply and/or Ok

kama64: entered 'netplwiz' in the search box; "users must enter a username........', clicked APPLY and OK. Rebooted and I still get the same request for log in info and an icon for GUEST and (MY NAME). Restarted the computer; same thing. Any other suggestions ?

Go to Start > Run and type in:

control userpasswords2

Select your name in the "Users for this computer" list and uncheck "Users must enter a username.."

You will not see that again.
