Log on at startup?

[Al]

Have Vista Home Premium as my OS; I have it set to Hibernate when the Sleep
button is pressed, but recently it "wakes up" after going into hibernation
seconds or minutes after hibernating, and when it comes on it opens to a
logon screen. It also has an option to switch accounts. I am the only user,
and the only account (other than the mysterious ASP.NET and Guest), and if I
select "switch" it goes to my account anyway. Is there a way to get Vista to:

a. Not wake up after hibernating until I wake it, and
b. Not open to a logon screen but go directly to the desktop?

Any help appreciated; thanks

Thanks for replies and links all; hasn't had any effect that I can tell.
Still wakes up to a logon button. I've turned off UAC, turned off any
passwords, turned off "wakeup" features in mice, network adapters, et al.
Vista doesn't require a password when I click the logon button - it just
won't bypass the button. And system still appears to wake up spontaneously,
randomly. Frustrating, but not fatal. Vista is definitely underdone, IMHO,
and needs about another year of cooking before "going gold." I am thinking
of another favorite MS developer expression for software, "shoot in the
head..." <sigh>

Thanks brink! Trying conventional "sleep" and standing by...
