Windows Log On Screen Question

Mrs_PI

Need someones help please

I am the only user of my new pc and I want to try to get rid of the windows log on screen that I have to click, so that the pc boots up straight to normal running if you like.

At the moment I turn it on and wait for the log on screen to appear then click on my user name to proceed to windows etc normal pc mode.

I'm sure there is a way to bypass this as on my old pc I didn't have to do this, but not sure what to do to bypass it.

Any ideas guys ?

I am running Windows XP Home Edition

Thanks in advance

For Windows to automatically log on a user account during the startup process, the following must be met:

- The Welcome screen must be available

- There must be only one user account on the computer
- The user account must not have a password
