Log on screen appears and I am the only user

[JP]

I have had XP on this machine for two months, and when I boot up, windows
just opens to my account with a welcome screen. Now overnight something has
taken it upon itself to make the log on screen pop up. I am the only user on
this machine, and have only one user account. The guest account is disabled.
Now I have to click on my name before windows will start.

How can I fix this?

1) Click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
2) In the list of users, select the username you want automatically logged on.
3) Uncheck "Users must enter a username................"
4) Click Apply.
5) In the next dialog, enter the password for the account you selected in Step 2, if any.
6) Ok your way out.

Is there a way to make the command line or run dialog launch, say, MS Word
if I type "Word", or remote desktop connection if I type "rdesk"?
