Okay, This will appear a very basic question and as a part-time IT teacher i'm embarressed to ask, but I can't for the life of me find out how to remove the welcome screen on my pc. I set up a password but the snooping girl isn't here any longer, yet the screen remains.

Do you have multiple users names on your computer or a guest entry? You have to delete any unused profiles and disable the guest password.

Yup. You can remove the password.

Anyone having problems with youtube? I got DSL and I can get any of the videos to load. I hope it's not my connection.

[Guest Smues]

It's working fine for me.

Okay, I disabled the welcome screen as I wanted to do what I used to do, switch my computer on and it went straight to my desktop.

 

Now, I disabled this, and as it says, uses the 'classic' windows login, which I don't want to do.

 

How do I remove the 'classic' and welcome screen altogether?

[Jaxxson Mayhem]

Can't you just uncheck the welcome screen option?

[TheFranchise]

That's what I did, but if you uncheck that, it automatically reverts back to the classic login box.

Weird.

 

I'll try to look it up for ya and come up with a right answer.

And just go to the administrators account and set it to automatic log in.

 

From yahoo answers...

 

You can start up without needing to enter a user name or password. Select Run... from the start menu and type 'control userpasswords2', which will open the user accounts application. On the Users tab, clear the box for Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer, and click on OK. An Automatically Log On dialog box will appear; enter the user name and password for the account you want to use.

[TheFranchise]

Thanks a lot for the help guys =]]]

[Jaxxson Mayhem]

No problem.

 

 

Did you get it to work?

[TheFranchise]

Yeah, but it logs in as 'Administrator' and not 'Adam' (which is my name on this computer, i'm the only one who uses it) - where the 'Adam' 'profile' has all stuff, 'Administrator' just looks (and is) a new computer, even the 'Tour Windows' tour comes up, I can simply log off and log on as 'Adam' but that's the same as the original problem.. I still have to login.

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski]

So there are two users on the computer? Is your primary account (adam) have admin rights? If that is, then delete the admin account.

[TheFranchise]

I can't delete (or even FIND) the Admin account.

 

I've got

 

Adam

Computer administrator

 

 

 

ASP.NET Machine A...

Limited Account

Password Protected

 

 

 

Guest

Guest Account Is Off

 

 

 

 

that's exactly how it appears.

Somebody needs to make a better way to hook speaker wires to a reciever, because I'm trying to hook up my new system and can't get the fuckers to connect.

[TheFranchise]

Has anybody (the forum owner the obvious exception) set up an IPBoard/InvisionBoard forum before?

 

I'm having big issues.

 

I'm going to work, hopefully, someone will voulonteer to help me when I come back, my aim is teamfranchise123.

 

Be generous.

Never mind the above, I went with phpBB instead.

Try putting the speaker wire into banana plugs, and then connect those to the receiver. Makes for a better and easier connection, IMO.

I hope everyone upgraded to the new AVG 7.5 I think it is.

So I've come down on which three company's for my new HDTV.

 

Sony

JVC

LG.

 

The rest really look to dark, or pixalated.

[CanadianChris]

I think the LG looks really good for the price. Sony is the best, but it'll cost you.

[CanadianChris]

I just picked up a 32" HP LCD TV at Best Buy for $719.99 CDN (open box special). I'm pretty stoked.

[Red Baron]

Good picture I assume.

[CanadianChris]

The HD videos they showed in store were great. In SD, it's like any other LCD. Once I get HD channels next month, I'll be able to tell for sure.

Hp makes televisions?

 

I had always thought you picked up that Sharp Aquios on sale on boxing day.

I did. That one was for the living room. This one is for the computer room.

Since it's not really related to the iPhone thread, I thought I'd post this from engadget. The picture made me laugh, anyways:

 

Hot on the heels of the Engadget iPhone headcount (12, if you didn't know), the very first Engadget iReturn has taken place. After ten and a half hours of waiting in line -- but less than 24 hours of actual ownership -- iPhone number one has been taken back to the store, citing "janky keyboard" and "no money for rent" as reasons behind the return. Note the look of utter shock, confusion, and hurt on the face of the Apple employee as she notified us of their 10% restocking fee.

 

 

"...but... but.... WHY?"

 

EDIT: Ah, crap. I completely missed the thread for this up there, pinned. I drank too much today. Anyone mind merging this in there? (or deleting the other one, because my thread is cooler anyways?)
