I have my WinXP Pro logon Welcome screen set to allow users to choose an
account to log into (by clicking on the little picture). I'd like to have
it logon by default to one account in particular *after* a set timeout
period. This way if I turn on the computer and sit at it I can log on to
any account, but if I walk away for, say, 30 seconds it will log itself into
that (previously specified) default account. Can this be done, and if so,
how?
Thanks,
Tom

I have asked this before but no one gave me an answer..I also looked on
google..
but no result
