Exactly what do you mean by "an additional Microsoft log-on screen"?
What does it look like and what does it say?

In particular, what do mean by "additional"? What is the other log-on
screen to which you are comparing it?


But if you are simply asking about being required to log on, when it
used to do it automatically, go to Start | Run, type "control
userpasswords2" Select the account you want to logon to automatically.
Then uncheck the box "Users must enter a user name and password to use
this computer."

Or do the same thing with TweakUI.

Thanks Ken,
I unticked the box but changing the account from 'Administrator' to 'Home'
locked me out of the computer. Microsoft Tech. Support got me out of this
predicament after an hour and a half of combined time on hold and going
though a gentleman of Indian? decent where we could not understand each
others accents. However was passed on to Debra in Malaysia who had a good
grasp of the English language and in 'safe' mode cured the problem for a fee
of Aus$.80.00.
To get back to your question I did not have a log on screen originally as my
set would just open up on my desktop and suddenly I developed a Microsoft
Home XP log on window which I had to click onto to get to my desktop. Now
all is back to normal.

That's almost certainly because you got an additional user, asp.net,
automatically added when you installed a .net framework

Now
all is back to normal.
