I am aware that I have 2 choices when my computer boots up. The Welcome
screen and the classic Login prompt. I don't want either one.
When windows boots up, I would like to see my desktop. I don't want to
enter a username or password. I am the only one who uses the computer.
I went to User Accounts and UNSELECTED Use Welcome Screen and Use Fast
User Switching, and still when I boot, I get the Classic Login prompt.
If you can assist me in going straight to the desktop, I would greatly
appreciate it.
1. Go to Start | Run and type in: control userpasswords2 | Ok.
2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then click OK.
3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user name and password for the account you want to be logged on each time you start your computer.
You can accomplish the same thing by:
Download and install tweakui for xp and use its auto logon feature.

Lastly you can add the Dialog box that comes up when running control userpasswords 2 to the Control Panel with the following tweak:
Add Control User Passwords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)
