Can I get rid of my Login screen when starting up WinXP?

[Cybordolphin]

I made some changes to my computer when trying to network... and now I get the login screen at startup. This is annoying. I want to just go straight into XP without a password. How can I rid this..?

Thanks

If you only have the one user account just go to User Accounts\Change the way users log on-off. Then make sure "Use Welcome Screen" is unchecked...

If that doesn't do it, get TweakUI for WinXP. Go to the Logon section, and enable Autologon.

There's also another option: start/run/control userpasswords2

UN-check the box at the top that says: Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

When you click on Apply, it will ask you who to log on as.

Doing it this way you can still use the winkey&L to lock your username and go to the normal XP Welcome screen. If you have other poeple that use your computer and don't want them using your admin account, this works nicely. This takes for granted that you have disabled the option to shutdown from that screen!
