Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the requirement that Windows XP has that the user click on their user icon in order to get the computer to either turn on or to wake up? We "upgraded" from 98 to XP some months ago, and the most annoying feature is that when I turn on the computer, I am required to be there to physically move the mouse to the little frog icon and click so that the stupid thing can proceed with its startup procedure. In the past, I would hit the power button to turn the computer on, then I'd leave the room and do something else, then come back to my waiting computer ready for action. Now, with XP, I have to come back just to click on the damned frog, then go away again while it finishes the final 2/3 of its startup procedure, and then I can come back and use my computer. Any way around this? Also: Has anyone installed "Virtual Earth 3D" and run it successfully? It's that map/locating program, but I guess they now have a way you can see (I'm assuming fly-through photography) great new 3D views of selected cities. I tried to install it on both my desktop and my laptop, but unsuccessful. Any experiences here?
