hello all, hope somebody can put me right.
When I boot up my pc, it defaults to windows professional set up. I have 3 seconds to change to standard xp user or else have to reboot. Is there a way of changing the set-up of my pc so that it defaults to the normal xp user?
Thanks

Yes there is, click Start, click Run, click the BOOT.INI tab, now select the XP os from the list and click Set as Default and then click OK. Now restart your computer and XP should now be default. HTH

just revisted the forum after watching the footy - can't believe the level of detail in your response and the visual aids too. Am very greatful as....it worked!
Many thanks
