I'd appreciate knowing how to do this, if it can be done. And also if it
would make the boot process faster if you could avoid the Welcome screen.

thanks.

The Welcome to Windows screen appears when you start Windows XP
after you install the .NET Framework 1.1

Click to expand...

1. Go to Start | Run and type in: control userpasswords2 | Ok.

2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password
To Use This Computer check box and then click OK.

3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user
name and password for the account you want to be logged on each time you
start your computer.

You can accomplish the same thing by:

Download and install tweakui for xp and use its auto logon feature.

Lastly you can add the Dialog box that comes up when running control
userpasswords 2 to the Control Panel with the following tweak:

Add Control User Passwords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)
