By default Remote Desktop requires a password. Using TweakUI and the information in this article you can configure the PC for auto login without a password... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Note this is a BIG security risk. A better solution, IMHO, is to setup a ***************************************** The welcome screen displays all of the local users on the system, except the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Spe cialAccounts\UserList Under this key you simply create a new DWORD value - the name matches the 0 - Hides the user just from the welcome screen ***************************************** -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Hi Al Thank you very much for your reply. i tried what you suggested ( using tweakui etc) and it worked. i am just a little concerned that you stated that this way is a "big" security risk'. the other option you gave me i tried but obviously i buggered it up somewhere, could you please tell me where i create the special password? i am just learning all about this stuff. (sorry) i appreciate you taking out time for me & your patience. Also ,as my other computer is connected via ethernet switch box ,computer reads computer B, but not visa versa can you tell me why please? Thankyou very much again.
