I'm setting up a PC for my father, who lives alone. Is there any way to turn off the Log On screen? He'll be the only person using the PC.
 
Try this:

From Start>Run type in

control userpasswords2

then uncheck 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer' and click 'Apply'. On the next screen - 'Automatically Log On' - delete the name 'Administrator' from the User name box and enter your account name and then the password in the next two boxes. OK your way out and then reboot your system.
