How to have XP not ask for user?

Don Wiss

I have just resurrected a computer. The motherboard died. I replaced the
motherboard, reformatted C: and reinstalled XP Pro. Now when it starts up
it asks for the user. Before it went right into "Don", the only user on the
system. How do I get it back to the way it was?
