Can someone please shoot me an e-mail on this one? I use
XP Home. When I restarted my computer, it automatically
loaded the desktop and icons. Now (after downloading an
XP update), when I start the computer, I am forced to
click on my name (I am the administrator and only user of
this computer) before loading the desktop and icons. How
do I make it go back to the way it was? Thanks.
