Windows XP startup page

[Steve B.]

Hi-

Ever since I installed one of Microsoft's patches,
Windows XP starting going to a blue "start-up" page,
where I have to click my name in order for XP to finish
the bootup to get to my desktop. Since I'm the only
user, when I turn the comptuer on, I want it to fully
boot up to the desktop without going to that "start-up"
page where I have to click my name. How do I get rid of
that start-up page?

Thanks,
Steve

One update for XP installs a new user ASP.NET user (????). Download and use
XP Powertoys TwekUI. In Logon, you can turn that account off from the log
on screen.
