Re: Changing XP logon



Thanks very much everyone. I followed the suggestion of logging on as
administrator with blank password in safe mode - problem solved. I was
able to remove the original user, and also found a checkbox to remove
the need for CTL-ALT-DEL. Now all I'd like is to remove the need for
pressing CR at the log-in screen, as I'm used to Win98 rather than XP.

I have been given an old HP laptop with XP, but on power up it gives a
