hi, since there is only one user in my computer i wanted to adjust my user account setting so that my computer will automatically login as I read in this thread

(Automatically Log On a User Account in Windows XP)

anyhow, accessing "user account" in the control panel does not properly work, i can see the application running in the "windows task manager" as "mshta.exe" but the "user account" window does not show. Is there another way I can automaticaly log on a user?

thanks

Try it in safe mode? Just a guess.
