WindowsXP Professional.
This computer is used only by me so their are no security concerns.

When I cold start, Windows takes me to a screen where I can select what user to be, I'm the only choice. And stops booting until I select me. How do I by-pass this stoppage and have the computer just keep booting in my name?

It also starts the last programs, automatically, even though I closed the programs and used Windows to turn off the computer. How can I stop that?

Thanks, In advance

For the first part:
Start, run, type in: control userpasswords2, hit enter.

Uncheck: users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

Xp will then ask you to enter the user and password you want to auto-logon to.



Or



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