thanks for the advice... i have actually already tried that and it doesnt seem to work. it would still always default to the Gebruiker user. so i created a second user (set to administrator) and called it Bob2... then i deleted the original user which had been renamed to bob. and then renamed bob2 to bob.
so i now have a single user called bob. and it is set to auto login but now it always defaults to bob2 and tells me the password is incorrect and i still have to say "switch user" and then "other users" and then type in bob and the password.
ok so i have been screwing around with this some more and its still weird...
seems like every time i add a new user account and delete the previous, it is trying to auto login with the account i just deleted.
any ideas??
