I changed my settings so it will not prompt for a password
upon starting the computer but it still asks me to choose
a user (I am the only user on the computer). Is there a
way that XP will start up with out prompting for a
password/user like old versions of Windows use to do??

Thanks :)

Matt,

Click Start, Run and type "control userpasswords2", and click Ok.
Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option, and click Ok.
