Ok, Got to start> control panel> user accounts> Change
the way user log on and off> and unclick box that
says "Use the welcome screen". And you should be all set.
And about your user level create a new user. Make it
admin. Goto start> control panel> user accounts> click
pick an acount to change- pick your account and set
yourself as admin. Log off and sing in as yourself then
click start> control panel> user accounts> cpick an
account to change and delete the one you had used to
change your first one.
