It stops at the welcome screen with my one icon. I click it and it goes the
rest of the way. How can I get it to not stop at the welcome screen. I have
searched but not found the answer. XP Pro SP2+++++

Thanks.
 
Are you saying it stops at your login screen with your user icon on it? You
must have set a password for your system. To get rid of it go to
Control Panel > user accounts and remove the password (leave password
field blank)

Click to expand...

Thanks, but...
Welcome screen says "to begin, click your user name".
It does not ask me for a password.
If I go to CP Users, it allows me to create a password. If I go through the
motions and leave the password blank, I get the same welcome screen with
single icon on reboot.

Thoughts?
 
Hi Kristi,

How to turn on automatic logon in Windows XP:

Use the "control userpasswords2" method listed in that article.
