You can follow the steps below only if you have .net framework installed but don't work with ASP.NET. 1. control panel/Admin tools/computer management 2. system tools/local users and groups/Users 3. double click on ASPNET (ASP.NET Machine Account) 4. click on "account is disabled At every boot i now have password field already opened and cursor positioned. I always have had .net framework installed on my pc since 1.0 version and never had problem with asp.net account. So don't know why if i disable that account welcome screen starts working fine again, but it seems to be a solution. I repeat, you can disable it only if you don't work on asp.net projects. Bye

Thanks, Skynet. That worked! Don't use this machine for ASP.NET development so that's fine. The other machine doesn't have the .NET framework on it at all, so no ASPNET user account, so it worked fine anyway. Thanks again. |
