Windows Problem!

SS Kakarot · Post by **SS Kakarot** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 11:25 am

When I turn on my computer I get this screen:

I need to click on my name to start, I never had to do that before, it was like this all of a sudden!

The problem is that I don't know how to change it back, so that Windows start automatic.

Any help is welcome!

How often do I turn on your computer, Cloud?
Do you even have one?

you have to go to the controlpanel ( start- configuration)
there you have usseracounts where you can delete them, and problem is solved

ps: my windows is in Dutch so some words could be different (or translated otherwise by me

)

Thanks, I will give it a try.

It's not going to delete everything, so that I can't get into my PC at all anymore, right?

No problem at all.
I you ever forget your pasword click F8 before windows starts up, then you can choise to run windows at save mode, you are automaticly signed in as administrator and you can change/delete/alter all users and paswords...

What you are seeing there is called the Welcome screen. Go into the control panel, then user accounts. In there under "pick a task" you should see an option that says "change the way users log on or off". Click that and you will see a screen labeled "select logon and logoff options" with 2 checkboxes. The top one should say "use the welcome screen". Uncheck that and your problem should go away.

Thanks both of you!

I'm on my Laptop right now, but I hope to give it a try later tonight.

Don't delete your user accounts -- you can permanently loose stuff. If you happen to have any encryption option on for any program, only the user name that created it can access it -- meaning admin can't get it back.

Maybe just try removing your password? then you will not have to delete an account?

Good reasoning. What makes you think that I won't have to delete an account.
