Help for a clueless newbie--

[Sue McCartin]

Hi All
I've had xp for awhile, I've never set it up for multiple users so some
update that I downloaded in the last day or two must have caused this and
I've got no clue how to get my system back to the way it was.

What I'm complaining about is this, before I put on those updates my machine
would boot straight to the desktop, no stupid blue screen asking for me to
select the user I want to logon as. I want my machine to boot into the
desktop again. Can someone tell me where the settings are for this?
Thanks, sorry for the dumb question but I don't have time to read anything
and try to find it myself and it's really annoying me.

That happened to me after I install the update for Microsoft .NET Framework
version 1.1
