Re: avoid logon screen

That procedure is well documented on the Internet. Here are
just a few sites:

How do I avoid the logon screen.

I am the only user and do not want to have to click my user
name in order to logon to the computer.

I want to boot directly to the desktop without any pause.

Go to Start -> Run.
Copy and paste the following into the Open box:

control userpasswords2

Click OK.
In the "Users of this computer" box, click on the User you
want to have logged on automatically.
Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use
this computer".
Click OK.
In the box that pops up, make sure the account you clicked
on earlier is entered next to User Name.
Enter your password twice.
Note: You can leave the password box blank if the account
does not have a password.
Click OK.
Reboot to see if you get the desired results.

Good luck
