    I'm running XP Pro on a T60p Thinkpad that was my corporate computer
    some years ago. I think I bought from the company for $100 when they
    gave me an upgrade. XP Pro was commonly used for corporate computers.

    The only issue I have with it is logging in. It still wants my old
    corporate login ID and PW. It works, but I would like to delete it as an unnecessary step.

    Hello Roddy.McCorley!

    I'm running XP Pro on a T60p Thinkpad that was my corporate computer
    some years ago. I think I bought from the company for $100 when they
    gave me an upgrade. XP Pro was commonly used for corporate computers.

    The only issue I have with it is logging in. It still wants my old
    corporate login ID and PW. It works, but I would like to delete it as an unnecessary step.

    I thought removing the login requirement was straight forward.

    ControlPanel/ UserAccount/ Change an Account.. click on the
    specific user and Change Password to a <blank>, no?

    Or.. do you mean the TP60 password system?
