user account welcome screen appears after boot

[Guest]

I used to be able to turn on the computer and my desktop
would appear automatically. For some unknown reason the
user account screen comes on and I have to click on my
name to get my desktop to appear. Could somebody advise
me on how I can fix this problem.
Thanks
Ernie

Take a look at Start>Control Panel>User Accounts>Change
the way users log on or off... both my boxes
are 'checked' and I don't have to log on. Maybe that will
solve it...
