I want to bypass my initial logon screen where I have click on my
username to
start Windows.  I am the only user of this PC and it is at my home.
When I
turn on the PC, I want it to boot directly to Windows XP without
having to
click my name.  How do I make this happen?

Get the TweakUI powertoy from Microsoft.  One of the settings is for
auto-login.

The Auto-login "tweak" is not secure! It stores the password as plain
Ascii text.
