["UKHA" <ukha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1) Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.

2) Type in the following:

control userpasswords2

now click OK

3) In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the
primary logon.

Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..."
box.

4) Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the
selected users password.

Click OK when you are done!
