I use XP Home and have only one account, however, I always boot to the login
screen where I have to choose my account to continue startup. Is there a way
to tell Windows that it is the default account and to automatically select it
and continue?
 
Hi,

Go to Start - Run and type or paste "control userpasswords2" (without
the quotes).
Uncheck the box requiring a username and password, click apply - ok and
follow the prompts to set up a default logon.

Or

Install TweakUI, go to Logon - Autologon and check "Log on automatically
at system startup" then enter the users name.
