You would have to choose which user gets the autologin though. You may have to enable this in Security before you can change it in Users and Groups. You also can have your users show in the login screen and then you only choose the user and type in the password for that user. This option is, I believe, also found in the Users and Groups pane of System Preferences. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
