Turn off X-10 pop up ads
Yes, you can deactivate those annoying pop-up ads from X-10. Just click on the link below to deactivate it:

It only works for 30 days, so the ad will appear again eventually. For more information about X-10 ads, read this: http://www.x10.com/x10ads.htm

Does your computer at home ask for your user identification every time you start it up? If you are the single user of a home computer, you probably don't need to see the logon screen every time you boot up.

Turn off annoying password protection at boot-up:

1. Open the Network Control Panel.
2. Make sure the Windows logon is selected, not the Microsoft network logon.
3. Restart your computer.
4. When the logon window comes up, enter a name, (any name -- it doesn't matter), leave the password blank, and hit return.
5. When it asks you to confirm that blank password, hit return again.

After that, you should never see the logon screen again
