    Hey everyone. I created a network with my computer, but I noticed that every time when I log into my computer (window xp's login screen) I have to click on my name first and then log in. Before the network was setup I could just immediately type my password. Is there a way to change it back to normal? Thanks.

    do you have any other name (like Guest) on that screen? if you do you will need to disable that account first (Start / Control panel / User Accounts, click the account and click Turn off the guest account)

    otherwise if you have multiple users u will always need to click the user name you would like to logon under.

    Also you might want to check if the service called Fast User Switching Compatibility is off.
