get stupid logon message when starting xp

Whenever I boot my computer I get a stupid logon message that says:
"Your password will expire in (N) days. Do you want to change it now?"
Does anyone know how I can make it stop saying this? Thanks.

Within the Account Maintenance you can set the password to Never Expire - I thought that this was the default anyway but there you go !

Sorry Dustin Im not at my XP PC at the moment (so much for remote connectivity!) but if you put password expiry into the search box it should throw up something - if not I'll post tonight or some other helpful soul will advise in the meantime !!

goto: start-control pannel-user accounts
after opening user accounts, click on the advanced tab at the top.
in the advanced user management box click on the advanced button
click on the users folder and select the user name.
right click and select properties.
check the "password never expires box"
