I submitted the following question and received the response below - it fixed the initial logon problem when the system starts but not when the screen saver comes on. Any more suggestions??

Orig Prob: I added some XP patches recommended by Microsoft last week and it changed how my system works. I am the only one that uses the computer so I did not have it setup for a login. Now it has it me click my login name and everytime the screen saver goes on, it goes back to this login. I don't want the system to ask me to click my login name. I am the administrator and only user on the system.

Orig Respones by Taurian:
Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.
... Type in the following:
control userpasswords2
... now click OK
... In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the
primary logon.
... Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." box.
... Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the
selected users password.

Click OK.
The changes will work the next time you restart your computer.

2......Go to display and double-click on it
3......Then go to the screen saver tab and click on it
4...... Then untick the box that says On resume, display
