Truer words were never spoken! Thanks you big sexy Dragon you!

The one thing I will add is that my other PC with the same operating Sys, XP does not ask for a password at all!?

It might seem more than a little ridiculous, but some people have alot of use for this behavior.
and if I find said computer locked, cannot use, or shall I say misuse it, and I reboot it, and find I have administrator access?

Anyway what I ment was, I want a login password, i don't want auto login.

On topic, i've been using the "down" key with much success!
Thanks heaps Bahamut :D

Variol: [img]smile.gif[/img] Like some people have said, some PCs don't have a password. So they just automatically log in. If you put a password there, then it will ask for it. You could remove the password and hope it logs on by itself. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Intrepid: Glad to be of help. [img]smile.gif[/img] Don't know any workarounds though about what you really want to accomplish.

<span style="color: lightblue">Do you randomly reboot locked computers to see how easily you can (ab)use administrator access?
Oh, wait.

Try removing your password, restarting, and then adding your password again...
