Disabling the user welcome page on computers running different versions of Windows is subject to general rules and varies very slightly. No additional software is required.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure that you are logged into the Windows XP version with a local administrator account, and open the main menu by clicking the "Start" button. Go to the Run dialog and type control panel in the Open line. Confirm the launch of the panel by clicking OK and open the User Accounts link in the dialog box that opens.
Step 2
Go to the "Select a job …" section and expand the "Change user logon" node. Uncheck the box next to "Use the welcome page" and confirm the saving of the changes made by clicking OK (for Windows XP).
Step 3
Call the main menu of Windows version 7 by clicking the "Start" button, and also go to the "Run" dialog to disable the welcome page. Type control userpasswords2 in the "Open" line and confirm the launch of the utility by clicking the OK button.
Step 4
Select the "Users" tab in the opened User Account Control dialog box and uncheck the "Require username and password" line. Save the changes by clicking the OK button. Type your account name and password in the corresponding fields of the system request window that opens and authorize the execution of the selected action by clicking the OK button.
Step 5
Please note that in some cases, performing the above operation may imply a preliminary change of the user's status to the computer administrator. To do this, start the standard Windows Explorer application and follow the path
drive_name: / Windows / System32 \
and call the context menu of the cmd.exe file by clicking the right mouse button.
Step 6
Specify the command "Run as administrator" and type
net user Administrator / active: yes
in the command interpreter text box. Confirm the change made by pressing the softkey labeled Enter.
