Try clearing the auto-logon settings: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/noautologon.htm. Next time, you should see the Welcome Screen on boot up.

Hey a thousand thanks Ramesh! I used option number 3 through the "Start-
Run" thingie. When I rebooted it came up in less than a minute instead
of the 150 to 30 minutes it had been taking and it never stopped. I
didn't even have to click on my account name.
You're the greatest man! I love ya! :-))
