New signon nuisance

[Stephen Shore]

I just installed update XP(KB826942) and it has added a
logon nuisance which I would like to remove.
When I try to boot I get a split screen in which I have
to click on the name of my computer before it actually
boots. It aslo occurs after my screensaver has been
running. I see no reason for this in my case since my
wife and I are the only people who have access to this
computer.
Thanks

To automatically log on
.. Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.
.. Type in the following:
control userpasswords2
.. now click OK
.. In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the
primary logon.
.. Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." box.
.. Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the selected
users password.
Click OK.
The changes will work the next time you restart your computer.
