Good suggestion, but no success. I tries every combo I could think of:

1) Created new acct with/without password
2) Changed acct for password and no password
3) Deleted all accounts except administrator and tries password and no
password

Did 1, 2, and 3 above by logoff/logon, switch users, O/S restart, and cold
shutdown and turn on. Nothing worked. I strongly believe I zapped a needed
registry setting, but don't know what it was, since it had worked properly
before. Perhaps, a setting in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run ???

Tsank for your helps. This is a strange one.
