Is there ANY possible way to make it so that Windows waits about 10 seconds before it autologons? I have two profiles, but I mostly only use one, the other only boots up with the minimum startup apps and i use it for gaming. I hate to log off the primary all the time just to play World of Warcraft, but it really helps the performance. I just want there to be a delay before it autologs so that if i want the gaming profile, i can click it before it goes to the primary.

Right click My Computer, go to Properties. Click on the Advanced tab. Click on the Settings button under Startup and Recovery. Next window, you can change the boot menu timeout for however long you want it.

Oh hell.....forgive me.

I went right past the fact that you said "profiles". Sorry.

Ok, right click My Computer, Properties. Click on the Hardware tab, then the Hardware Profiles button near the bottom. You'll have a time delay menu to set there. You can also change the priority order in which profile is the default (first) choice for XP.
