Starting Up and Shutting Down
When you turn on the computer's power, Windows 7 loads automati-
cally. Depending on the way your copy of Windows is configured, the
desktop might appear automatically, or you might see a login screen.
Windows 7 boots directly to the desktop without prompting for a user account or password if ALL the follow-
ing conditions are true: 1) There is only one user account set up on this PC (excluding the built-in Guest and
Administrator accounts); 2) that user account has no password; and 3) the Guest account is disabled.
