Hi,

Just did a fresh reinstall.

Now when I emerge from "hibernate", it takes me to the "to begin, click your user name" page. As the title states, I wish to bypass "to begin, click your user name", & go straight to my desktop.

I searched for answers, but none work. I know it can be done, because that's that way it worked before the reinstall.

Some of the methods I tried & had to reset afterwards:

run > control userpasswords2 > "uncheck" users must enter a user name & password to use this computer > do & don't enter password (should I delete administrator account with my name or or administrator? Afraid I'll mess something up!)

control panel > power options > advanced > "uncheck" prompt for password when computer resumes from standby

control panel > user Accounts > change the way users log on or off > "uncheck" use the welcome screen

thx

The .NET Framework account is probably installed. Go into user accounts and delete it.

This worked for me http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/make-windows-vista-log-on-automatically/ that gets around having to type a password into Windows when you log on.
