Welcome window

[Guest]

I am a solo user on my computer and use XP. I was always able to go directly
to the desktop after booting up until recently. Now I get the welcome screen
with my name on it and have to click on my name before getting to the
desktop. My question is, how do I get rid of the welcome screen?
I could live with it but it is annoying. thanks

I have a similar problem to this. I haven't had my desktop set up for over 6
months and now that welcome screen is there asking for a password. I don't
remember what it is anymore. How can I reset it?
