I have a Windows XP Pro machine with only one user account (mine), and of
course it is the administrator account. I do not have a password set. When
the welcome screen appears I always have to click my own icon to get into
Windows. I would like to go from powerup right into Windows without any
stops along the way, like it does on my Windows XP Home machine. Thank you!

Click to expand...

Go to Start/Run, and type 'control userpasswords2'.
From Users Tab, Uncheck "Users must enter ...."


Or

Download and install *TweakUI for XP*

There is a fix within.....

You should NEVER use the Administrator account for day to day access.
Set up a User and give that user Administrator rights to enable you to
do maintenance etc. If your Administrator log-in goes belly-up and that
is the ONLY log-in you have, you cannot access your machine except by
doing a repair install of XP.
