    See my username when log off


    Hi,

    I'm the only user/account on my PC so I don't need any extra security in Windows (to speed up the loading process). Today I did a new installation of Windows 7 and I miss something from my old setup:

    In old setup, whenever I log off Windows, I was seeing my picture & username and all I do was hitting ENTER to be back again on business!

    In new setup, whenever I log off Windows, I'm seeing a blank frame containing no picture, & 2 empty fields for username/password. It's more boring for me because I have to type my username then press enter to log in again (I don't have password) which is a hassle for me.

    I'd like to have the old behaviour back so that all I do is pressing Enter only!

    Thanks

    Thanks guys but unfortunately this isn't what I need because I have already my machine boots me straight to desktop without prompting me.

    What I'm talking about is that when I'm working normally on my PC and I tweak some system settings that need me to logoff and on again, then when I do so, I get empty username/password fields (see attachment plz) so I have to type in my username and press enter (No password I assigned) rather than what I used to do in my old setup where my username and picture where already there and all I need to logon again was hitting ENTER! That's all I need but I don't know how?!

    e.g. some settings concerning taskbar (e.g. tweaking how many milliseconds required before the jump list appears...etc). That sort of thing

    I am not real sure what a jump list is only that clicking anything on my taskbar is almost instantaneous - if that is what you mean and this is now a four year old machine

    The point is that I'm just doing some nitty gritty things that needs to logoff and back on again to see the effect!. All I care about is the convenience of logon again with just an Enter key because I used to have my default username there when I logoff, in my old windows setup, but now I have to enter it everytime!. I just yearn to the old setup and wish if I can get the same behaviour back!

    I see now and I do not know personally but this may give you some idea and if you post in that tutorial Brink a brilliant fellow to say the least may be able to put you on the right track if this does not cover it. Log On Automatically at Startup

I set up my computer a long time ago with a stupid username, and I wanna know how to change it. I can change my logon username, but not the actual username (COMPUTERNAME/Username) or the user directory (C:/Users/USERNAME).
