WinXP welcome screen

[rob]

Thanx to Harry and Ramesh for the info. The Welcome
screen is gone BUT I still get a log-in screen that I
never had before (I know, it is just an extra step for
protection, but I am the only user of this computer). If
I were to delete the .NET Framework update, would this
put my computer back to its original state when it used
to boot up & into my desktop?

TIA (again)

Rob,

Harry's advice will disable the Welcome Screen only (not for automatic
logon)

To autologin in XP:

Click Start, Run and type "control userpasswords2", and click Ok. Uncheck
"Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
option, and click Ok.
