New computer, new for Windows 7. Can I disable the functionality of password on the splash screen?

I recently set up my new Dell Inspiron 660 with Windows 7; My wife and I are the only ones who use this computer. Rather than having to enter a password every time we want to use the computer, I was wondering if there is a way to disable this feature so that we can simply turn on your computer and use it. no need to enter the password.

Thank you

Yes you can.

In the run box, type netplwiz. Then UN-click the box in front of "the user must enter a password... ». After you press Apply, you will be asked to enter your password.

Then go to Power Options. On the left side of the screen should be "require a password on wake up. Select this option, and then make the changes and you're good to go.

  • Error 17-Windows will not load past the splash screen, and system repair has no effect...

    Hi all, my problem is the following. Off my laptop the night before, an upgrade has been installed as usual. However, when I tried to start my computer the next day, I was meeting with a choice of operating systems, one was vista and one was something called "openSUSE 11.2 installer (NET).» Of course I wanted to choose vista, but when selected has been sent to a screen that read (sorry for the amount of the entry).

    Start "openSUSE 11.2 installer (NET)".

    (hd, 1)

    Specifien type is ntfs, partition type 0 x 7

    /openSUSe/ kernel linux devfs = mount, dall ramdisk_size = 65536 = ftp install: //ftp4.g wdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ server = ftp4.gwdg.de lang = en splash silent vga = 0x31A

    Error 17: File not found

    I don't know much about this sort of thing, so he thought better to include everything I could. At first, I tried to reload Vista, but it just opened the same screen, so found the vista disc that came with the laptop and it is stuck in. I ran sytem repair and system restore and both have had no effect.

    I'd appreciate any help is sorting this point, but if I have to reinstall vista (what I hear the hard disk wipes), is it possible to backup all my files to be reintergrated later.

    Thanks for any help!

  • How can I disable the Hello screen Illustrator CC 2014 permanently?

    I just upgraded to Illustrator CC 2014, and I'm a little baffled by the inability to turn off the screen Hello. It may be easy, but I don't see how.

    Under the menu 'Help' I don't see a check mark next to "Hello"... ", but clicking on it does not turn off the screen Hello. When I turned off the screen using the Red Cross in the upper left of the group, it does not go far, and it can be turned on again using the menu entry "help." I don't want it to appear... never. I wish I could use Illustrator way I want to and not felt the need to close this superfluous cover, everytime I open the software.

    Thanks for any input.

    Select the 'Getting Started', 'News' or 'Tips & Techniques".  Then scroll to the bottom of the Panel.  Click on the checkbox "do not see the Welcome screen Again.  You can click on the red x to store the dialog box, and it will not come back unless you manually reopen in the Help menu.  Note him 'don't show welcome screen Again' is available only if you are a Subscriber paid to creative cloud.  Trial users will still see the Welcome screen.

  • Desktop computer drive HARD problems, won't load after the splash screen only in black

    Hi, I hope someone here can help me. I have HP Pavilion dv2000 laptop I had for nearly 4 years. These last 4-6 months I get questions such as getting the BSOD (usually unmountable_boot_volume) and excessive delay/hanging while working. I was able to fix these with chkdsk and sfc since no virus was detected. But I couldn't make the successful restore points as they always disappear.

    But last night I forced him to close due to the hanging again and rebooted, it upward to get "a disk read error has occurred. Press ctrl + alt + del to restart"only to receive the same message again. Not far enough, he won't do a chkdsk or sfc. So I went to use my bootable usb key with a recovery console to run chkdsk, startup repair and sfc. He managed to get through the bios and was able to connect to my computer, but it would not load the office. It's just a black screen with my cursor. Going even in safe mode it will appoint the task bar, but soon, to get an error "windows Explorer has stopped working".

    I don't know what to do anymore. It would be great if I can just get into my HARD drive one last time. I've saved most of my files knowing he would die on me, except a few files and just need to run once more to save them. Would appreciate any help, please!

  • Disable the touch screen for a laptop Windows 8?

    I have a Dell XPS L702x infamous Ghost by clicking on issues where the touch screen randomly 'clicks' on arbitrary areas of the screen (mine seems to be in the lower right corner, often minimize all my open windows or opening calendar) and through the upgrade to Windows 8, it seems a former N-Trig driver who disappeared I would disable the touch screen. Now, I have no way to disable the touch screen, and while Google suggested release "Use your finger as input device" under the pen and touch, I don't even have this available to UN-click box on!

    So: How can I disable the touch screen on my laptop or y at - it a program that can do for me? I am indifferent in fact using the touchscreen - I'm more concerned with the ability to functionally use my laptop without sporadic clicks on my screen.
    Thank you.

    I had the same problem with XPS 17 my wife.    I needed to restore basic functionality so that disabling the touch screen was acceptable.     However, unlike samie (but like you) I didn't "Use your finger as input" option in the control panel.

    I tried to disable the device N-Trig driver in Device Manager, but the pilot did not appear to have be properly installed (after the upgrade from win7)

    I went on the N-Trig (http://www.n-trig.com/Content.aspx?Page=Downloads_Drivers) driver download site and download the new drivers for windows 8 (I have the feeling that they weren't here last week).

    I then when options "Device Manager" on the "Hardware and Sound" page of the control panel.

    In the Device Manager screen, I saw a node N-trig DuoSense digitizers with several below subnode (before dev driver install it there was only one).

    I right mouse button on the element at the top, with a name that ends by "between the roots" and select "disable."

    This touch screen successfully disabled.

    Pity to lose the touch screen, but my wife does not use it and I was in danger of my life, as it was.
