Whenever I open my computer, I get a welcome screen where I have to choose the user account and there's only one administrator account since I haven't activated the guest account. For me, it's pretty annoying having to do that. I didn't have to do that before and it came up automatically one day. I tried going into User Accounts/Settings in Control Panel, but I couldn't change anything. Any way to get rid of it?

Oh, and I have Windows XP Home.

I have the same problem as Mona.
However it happened MONTHS ago.

You mean the classic, enter user name and password screen right?
Well, for that you have to go to.
Control Panel>User Accounts>Change way users login/off. Unclick the "use welcome screen option." That should do it.

No, i'm not prompted to enter the username and password. I have to click the account I want to log in as. And I only have one, Mona (Administrator). Before when I opened my computer, it would go straight to my desktop.

& if the computer is left alone it'd go right back to that screen.. right?

Here are two sets of steps you can try to allow automatic logon:

I really really don't want to edit any registry keys, so forget the second link. Too bad I don't have TweakUI in this computer. The problem is that I don't know the exact username and password. My dad has forgotten them and I'm not sure if it's stored in the computer somewhere and where exactly it is.

So...I finally got around to downloading it. It worked. Thanks. :)
