For some reason my computer now boots to the user login in screen, where
as before, it booted right to the desktop. Can anyone tell me how to get
back to booting to the desktop and stop booting to the user login screen?

thanks

1. Click Start / Run / control userpasswords2 {Enter}
2. Tick the box that requires users to enter a password.
3. Click on your own account name.
4. Untick the box that requires the users to enter a password.
5. Click OK.
6. Enter your current password when prompted.
 
I don't have to enter a password, it just comes to the screen where i
just click on my name (box) and it goes to the desktop. No passwords
involved.

thanks

go to user accuonts and explore to see if require ctrl-alt-del is now
selected

I gave you a step-by-step recipe. Did you try it out? Did
it work? If not, where exactly did it fail?

I didn't try your method because you mentioned signing on with a
password, when windows boots, it goes to the user screen where my name
is, it doesn't ask me about a password, I just click my name and it goes
to the desktop, no passwords involved.
thanks

I'm afraid you're wrong. A blank password is a password
too. When prompted for a password, click OK and hey
presto! you're done.

Pegasus,
It did get rid of that screen, thank you. The only thing I notice now
is, when loading, it says "Loading Your Personal Settings", something it
never did before. Oh, well. Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedbacki. The message "Loading your personal
settings" is part of the standard WinXP startup process even though
you may not have noticed it before.
