windows logon

[ansmwke]

when my computer starts up it automatically skips the logon screen and loads windows desktop up. It always loads up the administrator user, so i have to log off and then log in under Ryan user.

In the user logon menu the only option to logon under is Ryan

is there a way i can have my computer automatically logon as Ryan instead of administrator?

To change the default user login you need to use regedit:
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Using your account name and password, double-click the DefaultUserName entry, type your user name, and then click OK.
Double-click the DefaultPassword entry, type your password under the value data box, and then click OK.

If there is no DefaultPassword value, create the value. To do this, follow these steps: (see below for bypassing this)
In Registry Editor, click Edit, click New, and then click String Value.
Type DefaultPassword as the value name, and then press ENTER.
Double-click the newly created key, and then type your password in the Value Data box.
If no DefaultPassword string is specified, Windows XP automatically changes the value of the AutoAdminLogon registry key from 1 (true) to 0 (false) to turn off the AutoAdminLogon feature.

If you don't want to use a password you can turn this off by follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type control userpasswords2 and then click OK.
Clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" check box, and then click Apply.
