MacBookPro login to Windows

[senojeel]

I have successfully installed WindowsXP and Parallels (3106) using Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro, 15".

However when I login in via Parallels I have to press fn-ctrl-option-delete. I know I should not have to press fn to get the login screen. In fact, when I boot into Boot Camp, I just have to do ctrl-option-delete. So it has to be a setting in Parallels somewhere. I have also installed Parallels on another MacBook Pro a few last week and didn't have any problems.

Any suggestions?

ThankS!

Sounds like you did not setup Windows to autolog you in.
You should only need to make the change once.
Boot the MAC into Boot Camp, go to Control Panel - User Accounts to make the change.

If you are going to be using Parallels, I would recommend this change to avoid other issues in the future.

If I set it to autologin, then I wouldn't be able to switch users to login to a business network, correct? I haven't done that for any of the installs I have done so far and it has worked fine. And it doesn't give me that option, or at least I don't see it, since I am on a domain.
