Start up password request

I have just purchased a new computer with Vista Home Premium Edition. Upon
initial set up I was asked to create a Admin account with user name and
password to continue with the 'new start up procedure" This allowed to update
drivers and install other programs.

I have found that when I turn on the computer I am prompted for a log on
password. Thre are only two users to the computer, can I disable the password
request when the computer gets turned on.

I want to be able to turn the computer on and have it right to the desk top
without having to imput a password first.

Re: Start up password request

On the Start-Run line,
type: control userpasswords2
and hit return,
uncheck - users must enter a name and password to use this computer
follow any screen prompts if any follow.
