Solve : last/most recent user?

Answer»

Hello all...

I am using XP Professional on a 3.3GHz laptop w/ 512MB.

Whenever I log off and log back on, it has saved my username and only prompts for my password.  I would like to be able to change this so that INSTEAD of having my username (dworley) already there, it has my other user name (darryl) up instead.

Here are my current logon preferences:
I do not use the XP start window (I use the classic version that sort of looks like 2k)
All accounts are password-protected (so no automatic logon)... I do have the passwords so I can change all user accounts, though

I am unsure even as to where I begin: the REGISTRY? user accounts?

Thank you,
-darrylWindows automatically displays the last username you had logged in with upon reboot. So if you logged in with darryl last, then that is what should APPEAR. I have never come across a way to change this as of yet.You can GET WINDOWS to not remember the last logged on user, but you can't make it display the name of a user who wasn't the last one logged in, as far as I know.
Hope this makes sense.Yeah, I need it to display a different user.

Well I must say this is a little disappointing. I appreciate the help though guys.

Thanks all,
darrylDon't be disappointed. That's how it is designed. It is just doing what it is supposed to do, and it makes good sense why it is that way.

If you use the XP logon screen you can choose.
