I have a computer system that was connected to my network. Before entering Windows, a login screen always used to pop-up for a username and password. Currently, I do not require my computer for connecting the network. So, I would like to remove the login screen so that I can automatically enter into windows.
Please provide some help on how to do this.
This is applicable if your computer system is Windows XP or Vista
- You will need to remove a computer from the Domain under 'computer name' tab in the system properties.
- Change this back to Workgroup. (you should be connected to the Network to do this)
Note that you will need the domain administrators password to do this. Otherwise you will need to reinstall Windows.- After doing this go to User Management and remove all users but yourself then chose remove password.
- This will boot up without user input after this is done.
Step 1.
Remove the computer from the domain.
Step 2.
Go to the user accounts section of the control panel and change the way users logon. This will bring back the welcome screen if there are multiple users, or boot straight into windows if there is only one user.
Step 3.
To remove the user from the domain, log on to the local computer as the admin, then right click on My Computer and choose properties. Click on the computer name tab and make sure the computer is on a workgroup, not a domain.
>Right Clicking on the Network Icon on the desktop.
>Select properties.
>Open Network properties
>Right under the list of protocols and installed components, you see a drop-down box
>Set it to read 'Windows login.'
By following above steps you will never see login screen poping-up from network. Instead you can perform Windows Login or directly start without login.
