No. Logging in is not part of startup. Windows must be fully running before you can login. Login is optional. Some systems normally have no user logged in, all the work is done by services and programs with no desktop interaction. After Windows has started you can login and out as many times as you want. They are separate operations. This is an important distinction. >I explicitly said "after the desktop gets loaded" The desktop can't be loaded until after login and a user is established. >So, I don't know why you needed to make that statement. I'm trying to fight ignorance and help users understand Windows better. -- Carroll B. Robbins, Jr.
