I just installed .NET vresion 1.1 on my Dell desktop running Windows XP
SR1. Now every time I boot I get the .NET splash screen "To begin,
click your user name."

Is there any way to get rid of that splash screen so I don't have to
stick around and wait to click on my user name while rebooting? (I'm
the only one who uses this computer; there's only one user name for it.)
 
Go to Start -> Run.
Copy and paste the following into the Open box:

control userpasswords2

Click OK.
Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer".
In the box that pops up, replace Administrator in the "User Name"
box with your user account. Enter your password twice.
Note: You can leave the password box blank if your account does
not have a password.
Click OK twice and reboot to see if you get the desired results.

The Welcome to Windows screen appears when you start Windows XP after
you install the .NET Framework 1.1:

Go to the XP update page and there should be a new critical updates having
to do with .net framework. Keep installing updates until there are none to
be installed and this should take care of the issue.

Nope. It takes "run control userpasswords2" to get rid
of it.

I'm the one who posted the problem.

I found that if I installed the .NET version 1.1 Service Pack, that
fixed the problem without my needing to do "run control userpasswords2".

In any case, my computer is alive and well again. Thanks to all who
responded to my query.
