I recently installed WinME, and for some odd reason, it auto logs onto Windows, without asking for a username or password. I have user profiles enabled, and users set up already. Yet it STILL logs in without asking for a name or password! Is there a registry entry that is enabling some kind of auto login that I can disable?

It's very annoying, and I can't seem to fix it. Even disabled user profiles, deleted all profiles, and then reenabled them and recreated them, and still no luck.

I've tried both Microsoft Family Login and normal Windows Login mode, and neither are working. It auto logs in, and then I must logout to get to the login box

Please can anyone help me?

Did you try renaming the *.pwl files go to start/search/files and folders and type *.pwl then rename all them and restart the computer.

Yes, just tried it...

Didn't work. Any other suggestions?

Fixed.

Apparently there is an autologin setting in the registry, which was disabled... Turned it on, rebooted, and then off. Rebooted and it stopped at login. Then it asked for my domain name (?) but was able to turn that off in the network control panel applet.

What exactly is domain name for? How would I make my notebook and other PC ask this computer for access to login? Network is setup, just looking for direction... Anyone know a good FAQ?
