when you unchecked the box & click apply you should get another window which says "automatically log on" & in that box you must enter your password & confirm it (userid should already be in the first box); it uses this userid & pswd to login.

if you didn't get that then check the must enter user name & pswd box & hit apply. then uncheck it and hit apply again. make sure it has your login & pswd in the auto log in box that appears.

Can you take a screenshot with your phone of the change user screen you are talking about and then upload the picture here? I figured it was the screen where it asks you to choose a userid as soon as the computer boots up to Win7. But If you only have one login and it has no password then the system should log you in automatically bypassing that screen.

great idea! thanks
sorry it is not sharper
i have 2 toshiba laptops. both were set up to start at the desktop and skip this annoyance.
they both only ever had one account.
this problem arose when i had to set it back to factory specs.
thanks

I'll be honest I think I would just set a password for your ID and then tell it to automatically log in with it. If that doesn't work then it is likely an issue in the registry, something that would need modified but I'm not sure what.
