I followed the following instructions:-
Since loading the driver for my HP1510 printer on my laptop and desktop computer, Win XP now starts with the 'Welcome' screen and user icon for me to click on, which i have never had to do in the past and which is really annoying.
I never set it to change , so why should some 3rd party software decide it was a good thing!
Anybody know how to set it, so on start, it goes straight to my desktop screen as before.
Seemed to have tried all the options on user accounts.
Type "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes) into the "Run" box.
Untick the box at the top about "users must..."
The rest is intuitive.
Now my laptop 'beeps' (once) and freezes at a screen which says:-
Windows 'starting' - but it doesn't . . .
It seems that it might be a 'permission' issue.
Is there something that I can do that will by-pass this (ie which key(s) should I press during boot?)?
I have dual-boot on this machine, so I can access the hard drive files from the other installation. Can I get into the relevant area from within the 'other' Windows?
Keep it basic, folks . . . (very basic!)
I cannot have both environments running simultaneously - I have to shut down and reboot.
