Within the space of a few hours two friends call me telling me they have got the same problem on their machines both appearing today.
Does anybody also have this problem and know 1) what is going on 2) how to get back to as it was before?

(and a new user ASP.NET too)
If you don't want it:
Start, run
In the box type (without the quotes) "control userpasswords2"
Untick the box saying "Users must...." and click Apply, you will be prompted for a user name (and password) to log on automatically.
Make sure you spell the user name correctly! And if there's no password leave it blank.

Sorry, can't help with the issue in hand but thought you would like to know about the automatic updates.

- It can take you to the Welcome Screen - where each user ID is displayed with a little picture.
- It can display the "classic" login prompt, which is a little window which shows the name of the last logged-in user but gives no clue as to the other accounts available.
- It can bypass either screen and log you straight into Windows.
Is Pancho seeing item 2, the "classic" login Window?

Thank you for giving this some thought. I have no idea what is the cause so will have to live with it and just get on and do the things I do and not worry about it same as the other two people who had the problem at the same time. That is the thing - three people got the same problem as the same time.

Quote from: Pancho That is the thing - three people got the same problem as the same time.
But if I search Google for this problem I cannot find any evidence of large numbers of others experiencing the same problem at this time. So the common factor may be that these three people all know each other, swap thoughts and ideas and consequently have all done the same wrong thing.
