Hi guys, I was wondering. I have a pc that my family usues and I would like to set myself up as another user for my school stuff.
I would like to have XP default to the family account automatically and if I want to log onto my account I would do it from there. Is this possible???

Thanks in advance.

Hi:

try this


this will create your family account which boots computer straight in there, then I imagine, you have already created your own account in XP, make sure you set the password on that account so nobody would just get in there without a password.

you would switch to your account by using:

logoff (family-account)--->switch user ---> then the login screen comes up from there

see if this works
