I thought that an RNIB volunteer had assisted me in removing the logon screen, but although it does not show when the computer first starts, when I come out of standby mode, I am presented with a screen with two boxes one saying something like "turn off computer" and the other saying Alexander. What I want to do is delete these boxes and not have any login screens at all, as I am the only person who is likely to use this machine. I would appreciate it if someone could give me some advice on how I can remove the login screen.
