Hi Anthony
I got this somewhere on the net a while ago and followed the steps myself. Unfortunately, I don't have a reference for it.
To log on to Windows XP without going through the Welcome screen, you must have exactly one user account defined and you must have the Guest account turned
off. That's the original arrangement. A recent Windows XP update screws up this plan by adding a virtual user called ASP.NET, which isn't useful unless
you're a programmer. Assuming you're not, just delete it.
Of course, subsequent Windows updates are likely to bring back that unwanted account. For a more permanent solution, download TweakUI from
www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp.
Install and launch TweakUI; unlike earlier versions, the utility launches from the Start menu rather than the Control Panel. Double-click on the Logon item
to open it and then click on Autologon. Check the box titled Log on automatically at system startup, enter your user name and password, and click on OK.
Now TweakUI will log you on using your user name and password even if more than one account exists.
Barry
