Actually, if you have 2k pro, there is an option to have it automatically log you in. I think it's under the user preferences.. not sure.. lol I use advanced server myself.. I have a use for its more powerful features (home network). I also found 2kpro to not run as well in some areas, but for most users it's fine. But I'm a nt4 kid here.. lol, so I'm used to the down and dirty. Jogert
