DOTcrap Framework 1.1 is probably the culprit.
Do not use control userpasswords2 to create accounts if you are using XP
Home!!!
[[You can also use turn on automatic logon without editing the registry in
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition and in Microsoft Windows XP Professional
on a computer that is not joined to a domain. To do this, follow these
steps:
1. Click Start and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2 and then click OK.
Note When users try to display help information in the User Accounts window
in Windows XP Home Edition, the help information is not displayed.
Additionally, users receive the following error message:
Cannot find the Drive:\Windows\System32\users.hlp Help file. Check to see
that the file exists on your hard disk drive. If it does not exist, you must
reinstall it.
3. Clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer" check box, and then click Apply.
4. In the Automatically Log On window, type the password in the Password
box, and then retype the password in the Confirm Password box.
5. Click OK to close the Automatically Log On window, and then click OK to
close the User Accounts window. ]]

I'm running Windows XP. Until recently, I could turn on my computer, see a
brief welcome screen, and then my programs would start to load. I am the
only user of this machine,I only have two profiles loaded (mine and an
administrator) and had disabled the start screen. I recently did some
updates and now, no matter what I do, I've got one more thing to click,
one more choice to make, just to turn Windows on. I realize that this is
implemented for the sake of security and I appreciate the thought. Thank
you, but wouldn't it be less condescending to let the USERS choose the
actual implementation of security while you concentrate on providing the
tools, rather than shoving them down the users throat while he's unaware?
After all, you wouldn't expectan OS to automatically load a browser
without your knowledge ... oops. Sorry.
I would like my former functionality. I like the idea of turning on my
machine, running to the kitchen for a cup of java (no pun intended) and
coming back with my firewall, virus and spyware protection started, as
well as my other TSRs and my mail already downloaded and displayed. Which
update changed this configuration?
