Hi,
Is there a way to disable the logon screen (the one that says Welcome)?

Thanks,
Alice

If you are the only user you can change your password to no password--in
other words remove your password from User accts. & leave it blank. You will
see the Welcome screen for a bit and then it will go directly to the desktop.

You could try by-passing the screen by configuring AutoAdminLogon
Here are instructions

1.. Navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\winlogon
Set: AutoAdminLogon = 1
2.. Created a new String Value called DefaultPassword
Set: DefaultPassword = P@ssw0rd

On home machines you could also try:

Navigate to the Control Panel, User Accounts, Users and remove the tick in:
Users must enter a user name and password.

Hi Guy,

Yup, I tried all of that. But I still see the logon screen. It does
automatically logon to my account but I would like to get rid of it
altogether.

Thanks for your time,
Alice
p.s. running Vista Ultimate

Disable all admin usernames, except your normal username

Right click on your desktop, select new then shortcut, enter the command
below
%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe netplwiz.dll,UsersRunDll

uncheck the checkbox at the top (users must enter a password...)

There is a checkbox to check that says Run At Startup. Try unchecking it.
