I must of changed something unintentionally because now when I power-
up my PC I get the choice of which user to log on with even though I
am the only user on the PC with Admin. status and there is only one,
me, account on the screen to choose from..

Up until today when I would power-up the screen would go directly to
my desktop right after the standard "welcome" screen, which is the way
I want it.

What do I have to do to get it back the way I always had it?

Thank you!

See the link above and click on the icon to the left of "Why can't I auto
logon anymore?"
 
In addition:

To correct:

1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok.

2. On the Users tab, left click "your user name" then clear the Users Must
Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then click
OK.

3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the "user name
and password" for the account you want to be logged on each time you start
your computer.

If you want to logon to one of the other users, hold down shift as the
system boots up.
