After a clean reinstall - during which I (probably unneccessarily, since I'm the only user) entered a password, I got irritated with having to go through the Windows welcome screen to log on as myself (no password required - and I'm 'administrator', anyway, it says - or is that just adminitrator privileges?), I did a run, enter control userpasswords2 thingy, so now I come straight in on startup without having to do anything. However, the computer goes to standby after a period, and when I come back to it and briefly hit the power button to bring it out of standby - it produces a dialog box with my name in it and a password space. I will deal with the standby issue by fiddling with the 'power' thing in control panel, probably... but...
Never mind the fact that the password I entered during the reinstallation process is counted as 'wrong' - I discovered I can simply get over that problem (after 5 minutes of panic!) by hitting enter with the password space blank!!
Never mind, but how can I get that dialog box to vanish for good? (And, anyway, as an academic issue, why does the password I entered on reinstallation not work there?)
I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2.
