I was initially sure this was easy to do but I'm having a remarkable amount of difficulty solving it.

Just got my new DS rig (yay!) and used the EZ transfer to move a lot of my old settings/documents/savegames. That resulted in having a "John" user created along with the default "Administrator". I am not using passwords.

When I turn the machine on, it boots to Administrator and I have to manually switch users. How can I set it to default to "John".

Thanks.
Small thing but annoying.

John

John, you could set a password on the admin (which isnt a bad idea anyway).  That should cause a prompt.

VICTORY! If one designed a competition rewarding the least intuitive solution to this particular problem, Microsoft wins again, hands down.

Thanks,
John
