Welcome Screen

[Sallys Mom]

I'm using Windows XP Home Edition and have downloaded Service Pack2 recently
with no problem. Yesterday I deleted PrintMaster 11 and installed
PrintMaster 16 and discovered that PM 16 deleted all my PM 11 work.
Thinking I could recover the work I went to System Restore and restored my
computer to the last date in bold. That put me in a mess with PrintMaster
11 (and my files didn't come back) so I reversed the System Restore.

Now my Welcome Screen comes up with a split screen - Welcome on one side,
and an icone with my name on it on the other. I now have to click on that
icon to start windows. I went to User Accounts but can't get that plain
Welcome screen that just shows for a couple of seconds and then everything
else loads.

I not only have to re-build my PM work (because I'm a jerk that didn't back
it up), but I can't get my computer back the way it was. Can anyone help me
with the Welcome Screen?

Go to Start, type "control userpasswords2" without the quotes in the run
box and press enter.

Uncheck the option to require a logon, click "apply" and follow the prompts
to setup an autologon.
