I'm REALLY getting to hate this "Roxio" company!!!

I have Windows XP Pro on my home computer and I normally turn on the power
and boot-up right to my desktop ... until now!!

I just loaded Roxio's "Creator 9" Suite, and now when I boot up, I get a
"Choose A User" page!!! I click on "Administrator" and get in ok but I want
to eliminate this and go back to booting up to my desktop!!

Please advise!!!

[[You can also use turn on automatic logon without editing the registry in
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition and in Microsoft Windows XP Professional
on a computer that is not joined to a domain. To do this, follow these
steps:

1. Click Start and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2 and then click OK.

Note When users try to display help information in the User Accounts window
in Windows XP Home Edition, the help information is not displayed.
Additionally, users receive the following error message:

Cannot find the Drive:\Windows\System32\users.hlp Help file. Check to see
that the file exists on your hard disk drive. If it does not exist, you must
reinstall it.

3. Clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer" check box, and then click Apply.
4. In the Automatically Log On window, type the password in the Password
box, and then retype the password in the Confirm Password box.
5. Click OK to close the Automatically Log On window, and then click OK to
close the User Accounts window. ]]
