Hi there,
I have a major question here,I've been looking all over the net to find any useful info but there isn't.Could anyone possibly explain me if there is a way to run WinXP with only one -administrator account.I haven't installed the OS yet because I want to make sure if that's possible.
I know there is one generated admin account coming with XP,can I use it or not?

Thanx

Just leave any and all "user names" (and passwords) "blank" during install.

I do the same. Doc has'nt led you astray. I detest the user/admin account setup in Xp. I've had nothing but grief everytime I've tried to setup multiple accounts.
Linux is the only operating system where user accounts really work.

Have one account...Guest acct is off. Cannot figure how to bypass the login even though I hae no password (password blank so i just hit Enter).

How can I get it to boot with NO login/passward screens??
