Hi there Tavia,
For Windows to automatically log on a user account during the startup
process, the following must be met:
- The Welcome screen must be available
- Guest account access must be turned off
- There must be only one user account on the computer
- The user account must not have a password
To make the Welcome screen available:
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double- click User Accounts.
2. Click "Change the way users log on or off".
3. Click to select the "Use the Welcome screen for fast and easy logon"
check box.
4. Click OK.
To turn off Guest account access:
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double- click User Accounts.
2. Click the Guest account.
3. Click "Turn off Guest access".
To remove the password from the user account:
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double- click User Accounts.
2. Click the user account.
3. Click "Remove my password".
4. Type the password in the "Type your current password" box, and then click
Remove Password.

Does anyone know how to get my computer to boot directly
to the desktop?
It use to do this but now for some reason it boots to my
name where I have to click on it in order to get to the
desktop...I am the only user so this is annoying!
Anybody know how to fix this?
