Ladies and Gentlemen:

Hello.

I recently upgraded my BOINC Manager v6.x (probably v6.10.60) to v7.0.28, and now I suspect that doing so has caused some new User Accounts to be created on my Windows (XP SP2) PC that cause my boot-up process to pause so that I can choose which Account to log-in with.

I say all of this because:

* During boot-up, the process pauses to ask me to choose a User Account, yet the only(!) one shown is mine. I now need to actually choose it there in order for the boot-up to proceed.

* Going to Control Panel --> User Accounts shows that above-mentioned Adminstrator account that's in my name along with two (2 -- boinc_master and boinc_project, both of which are "limited accounts" and "password protected") that are tied to BOINC.

* I haven't had a need to go into User Accounts before, so I can only guess that v7.x created them.

Can you please advise me about this?

Thank you very much,
Bram Weiser
