| I have Windows XP Home Edition. Can I set it up so that when I turn the PC on it automatically boots to the
desktop with out having to log on? I would like to eliminate the extra step of logging in. I have it set for
Windows classica view, but I still have to enter user name and password. I'm the only user. How do I
elminate that step?
