Auto Sign-In & Administrator Problems

May 14, 2006 9:02AM PDT

I have a Dell DE051, 2.53 GHZ Intel Pentium 4, 256 MB Memory, WinXP w/SP 2,Cable connection, 80GB Hard Drive.

Now for the problem:
I am the only user on the computer so I am the Administrator but when I try to make changes it asks me to sign in as Adm. Also on my sign in it just lists my name and no password so I just click OK.
So I tied to change my sign to be automatic by going into account users and change the way users log in but it says you must be a Adm to do it. So I tried to do it in the safe mode but.....it says the specific module could not be found... now when I turn on my computer it first says...the system could not log you on but when I click it OK and there is my regular sign in so I click OK and I can still sign it.

I would like to have my sign in automatic and have me the administrator so when I try to make changes as in the start up (msconfig) so I can can do a clean boot.
