Vista Ultimate
For some reason, when booting, Vista is automatically logging the computer on as Administrator rather than to my account. I then have to "Switch User" and log the administrator out. This is a pain the the hind portion of my body. I'm sure there is an easy fix. Can somebody help? Russ |

Go to Configuration Screen - User Accounts - Disable automatic-logon Or maybe there is only one account: Administrator. -- Axon -[image: http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/892/axonvirusqi9.gif] - |

Or, Just set a password on the Administrator account.
So you need to fill in the password before logging in. Its also more security, Just set a password; ALWAYS. J.ustin "Axon" wrote in message ...

I got it. I went to user accounts and found Administrator highlighter.
Attempting to move the highlighted User to my usual login, I found I was unable to do so. I then checked the box "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" and then clicked on "Apply". I was then able highlight my login, remove the checkmark from the box, and Apply again. I then rebooted and I, not the Administrator was logged in.
