When my Windows XP Pro boots, I get the Logon screen
with "Administrator" seeded. I don't have a password
so I just have to hit Enter - how do I have Win XP boot with this User account as the default and go through this screen automatically? fyi - I have two User accounts, Administrator and Guest. Guest appears to not be Active because when I click on it Win XP Pro asks me if I want to "turn it on".

Is TweakXP a shareware program or part of Windows? Didn't see it on download.com (assuming it's shareware) - where do I get it?
As for the suggestion, that leaves me with a question. My computer is on the Internet via a DSL line - but why would the login for XP have anything to do with security? Unless there is/was some kind of hole that would let people somehow login (and me not having a password making that possible) via the XP Logon?
Thanks!

With XP, you cannot logon remotely over the network using an account with a null password, but you can autologon locally.

Tweak
Win 9x and NT
http://www.microsoft.com/n
or
http://www.microsoft.com/w
for XP
http://www.microsoft.com/w
Open tweak to the "Logon" tab and click on the box labeled "Logon automatically...." and fill in the User Name and Password box. This should not cause any problems with your internet security using the DSL. Besides I believe XP has a firewall built into it, don't know how good it is but it is better than none at all.

Well you can actually use one of the other tweaks for the time being.

Using Tweak XP, you should be able to do just that. But if you are using that computer on the Internet, I suggest that not only you do not do that, but also put a password of the administrator account.
