How do I...?

10 February 2004, 12:03

I have disabled my guest account in win2k,
but when i turn my system on, it always trys to log on as guest, at which time it gives me an error (because its disabled)
How do I force it to power up to my main account? - I am the only person using this computer so I don't really need to go through the log-on procedure.

Yeah, well I'm gonna build my own lunar space lander! With blackjack aaaaannd Hookers! Actually, forget the space lander, and the blackjack. Ahhhh forget the whole thing!

Should do that by default sadly I don't know what registry key you need to change. God knows how you managed to get guest as the preferred acount.

In the future, I believe that TweakUI can set/control this.
