startup help URGENT...

[Guest]

i'm the administrator on this computer and the problem is that everytime i
start the PC the welcome screen appears and i have to click on my name in
order to log on...
What i want is: whenever i start the PC i want to be logged on automatically
whithout having to click on my name (skip the welcome screen..) so that the
computer starts directly after turning it on..
thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Louis,

To configure Windows XP to automatically logon at startup, read below:

Click Start, Run and type CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2, and click Ok. Select the
user account from the list (to which account you want to automatically
logon). Uncheck Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer option, and click Ok. Type the user account password and complete
the process. In Windows XP Home, don't try to auto-login as the built-in
Administrator, as you'll receive a restrictions error at startup.
