I didn't set this machine to always assume the person logging on is administrator and now I get the nagging log on screen everytime I start the computer how do I get it to automatically log on without this password box?

Log in as Administrator (or with admin rights) Then go to Control Panel/User&Passwords
(I'm running the Swedish version so I'm not 100 percent sure of the exact menu names)
There you should find o box thats ticked (Username and password is required to use the computer; again I'm not 100% sure)
If you UNtick this box, click on Apply, enter Admin password, you should be on your way to a login free startup...
Let us know how things work out!

You may do this but only if you are part of a workgroup...go to control panel...users and passwords...advanced tab...down at the bottom..secure boot settings..if you are part of a workgroup you will have the option for the machine to assume you are the only one that logs in..if you are part of a Domain this option will not be there..however there is a tool in the resource kit that will do this ...good luck..let me know if this works for you
