I know I had it disabled before & did all the things to disable it, but it pops up every time ...sigh .... will wait on the XP thing, I think, if I crash again & have to reformat, I might just do it then... as long as it is running i don't want to mess with anything .... grumbles !~~~~ Faythe Wyatt wrote: >>>Don't worry, Dave....ummmm....Faythe, HAL...ummm...Windows has everything under control. <G> If you're talking about the XP password at logon, it can be disabled, but I've never done it because I like access control even though I'm the sole user of this machine.
