[Ham-Computers] Default User Login Windows XP machine

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Phil & Mike,

Thanks for the replies.  This looks like a Catch 22.  I can't delete the 
2nd user, as Scan to File is a critical ap here.  And the Microsoft KB seemed 
to be written with the assumption that there was only one user account set 
up.  In Windows 2000, during installation there was a place where you could 
select or say to log in a user (with me it was always Administrator) 
automatically at boot time.  I presume there may have been a place where you could 
later change that but I never had any reason to want to.  And adding the user 
account for the scanner I know didn't change it because over the years I 
went through that step several times.

I guess I'll ask the Xerox guy tomorrow.  Maybe he's run into it and knows 
that it can or cannot be fixed.  As Mike commented, the last option in the 
KB article (that does not use regedit) does not mention anything about a user 
name so how would it know which to use?
