How com the windows logon screen will not go away???

Published on July 2, 2006 By sgand In WinCustomize Talk

After I had erased the only other account on my computer besides mine, I unchecked the logon screen box in the user name menu. Ever since then, When starting up the computer, a little box pops up that tells me to enter a password. I just click cancel, and it boots up as normal. Any ideas on why this keeps popping up? I use to have logon studio, but deleted it. Could that be a problem?

did you just delete it or did you uninstall it?
if you uninstalled it, did you set the windows default back first.
did you turn of fast user switching?

When I go to check about the fast user switching, it says it can't be enabled due to using offline files. I'm pretty sure I uninstalled it.

do you have 'use the welcome screen' enabled?

1 - Go to "Folder Options > Offline Files tab" and deselect "Enable Offline files" option > click "Apply" if available.

2 - Go to "Control Panel > User Accounts > Change the way users log on or off" and select the "Use the Welcome screen" (this should also automatically select "Use fast user switching") > click "Apply Options" button.

As long as you do not have a password set, and no other accounts set-up, Windows will boot directly to the desktop.

Nope. Also I just realized, when I press ctr+alt+delete to get the task manager up, it pops up a Windows Security box with shut down, log off, task manager and a few other things, including my user account info.
