As I was doing the conversion I created my own user profile, and the installation has been very successful. The laptop however is shared with my wife. It is her main computer for serious work and I occasionally use it in the lounge room when required, for reasons of social interaction. (I pretend to watch her murder mysteries while tinkering). The question is how can I make her login the default, so when she uses it she does not have to change users, and it goes directly to her account. At the moment it defaults to mine. I would prefer a login screen like in XP where each person is shown with an avatar in a list and a simple click takes that person to their chosen login. Failing that, I would like to know how to set up for her the easier option of booting directly to her account, and I will do the "change user" bit on the odd occasion I use the machine. If there is some option I have missed that makes this trivial, I apologise and plead newbie status, however I have explored the "Settings Manager", "Session and Startup", and "Users and Groups" gui screens settings in many and various combinations but not have achieved anything as smooth as I would like. Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated. <div class="moz-signature">-- Rob Ward Lake Tyers Beach, 3909 <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.laketyersbeach.net.au">Lake Tyers Beach Website</a> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.laketyersbeach.net.au/XP2XU.html">XP to XUbuntu - The journey, join me!</a> </div> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> I assume you set your name up as the admin user, and hers as a 'normal' user. I did a similar thing using Ubuntu, and kept the requirement for a password for admin, but set the normal user as auto login. It now always defaults to her login. Not a planned action on my part, but works well for my situation, and may work with Xubuntu. Keith </body> </html>
