clicking user name to log on

[Joe]

My computer use to boot up straight to the desktop - but now - It boots to
the user log-on screen, where I have to click my user name. I am the only
user, and would like to bypass this and boot straight to the desktop. How
do I skip this step?

Start, run, type in: control userpasswords2, hit enter.

Uncheck: users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

Xp will then ask you to enter the user and password you want to auto-logon
to.



Or



Download and install tweakui for xp and use its auto-logon feature.

This is a result of the .NET update. Go Start | Run and type in "control
userpasswords2" (no quotes) and click OK. Uncheck the box that says "Users
must enter a user name and password..." Apply and follow the prompts. Your
system should now boot straight to the desktop
