Skipping user selection at Windows XP boot up

I have a new installation of Windows XP Home and each time I boot up I am
asked to select the user of whom there is only one (James). I've tried
every way I know to turn this off so XP will boot directly into Windows
without this selection step but so far I have had no success. When I go to
Run Control Userspasswords2, I am shown Administrators (Group
Administrators), ASPNET (Users) and James (Administrators). I've tried
unchecking the user name and password box on that screen but that doesn't
work either.

How do I get rid of the selection step at boot up?

Thanks very much for any help.
