Sounds like Ian is recommending that he tried *disabling* the Welcome
Screen checkbox, instead of enabling it, as the previous suggestions did.
Unless someone has installed a third-party program to auto-login a user,
disabling the Welcome Screen will always turn off an "auto-login"
situation. Only drawback is that it forces the standard NT "Ctrl Alt
Del" login, which is really silly when the password is blank...
But it should work nonetheless.

Jon Heese
