User Log-in priority

For the second time in six months, I set up a Windows 2K system that defaults to logging the Adminstrator in as the first priority. In the first case, I did finally locate a dialog box where I was supposed to be able to reset this priority, only to find it grayed out, inaccessible.

AFAIK, I followed the same setup procedures that I've always used, and before that, had never seen this come up as default before.

That PC has been running 24/7, mostly, and it's not such an inconvenience. The currently newest W2K system won't be operated that way, and I would like to alter its selection of "who logs on first". But *do I* recall where this setting is found? Not really.

Anyone here ever had to reset this and remembers how ?

It's under User Passwords and Groups, and it isn't a case of being greyed out for either W2000 after all, both look the same there, but the newest install now acts "normally". Whichever of my selves was using the system when I shut down (as Kiwi or as Administrator) is now the one with priority.

And I didn't do anything differently when I shut down last, not that I was aware of. But just now, after reading your reply, I booted that PC, and it did what I expected it to do each of the other times I booted, but it was asking me for the Administrator password, instead.

The system I am running here and now to make this comment with is the one that always ignores which self of mine shut it down last, and always wants the Administrator password, no matter what. Ever since the current Hdd was installed, with a clean W2K (and WXP) install, it's wanted that.
