XP Startup Sign-on "box"

[Terry]

Can anyone tell me how to eliminate the startup password
box with windows xp? I have 2 identical computers,
running xp, and one has the box, and the other doesn't.
Got rid of it once but can't remember where! Am NOT using
a password, and I know how to bypass it. I just don't
want it to come up in the first place! Thanks!!
