Windows XP Opening Screen
A blue Windows XP screen has started appearing when I
boot the computer. It's divided into two sections; first says "to begin click your user name"; and second is my user name. When I click the user name it states loading personal preferences. It appeared after downloading some Windows updates. I had always been able to boot directly to my desktop. Is there any to bypass this window? Thanks for your help! |

Remove the check mark from "Use the welcome screen". -- Regards, Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup so all may benefit. http://www.dts-l.org http://www.mvps.org |

Windows XP Opening Screen
Hi Jim,
It's caused by .NET Framework Update from Microsoft Windows Update site. It creates an additional user account called ASP.NET and thus you are seeing the Welcome Screen at startup rather than a automatic login. But, don't need to remove this update or don't delete this account. 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. Common Mistakes to be avoided while using this method: ---------------------------------------------------------- For Windows XP Home, don't try to auto-login as Administrator. This is because Windows XP Home Edition does not allow logging in as Administrator from Normal mode. Once you uncheck the option "Users must enter a user name" and click OK/Apply, Administrator account name will be displayed in the text box. Type-in a different user name and password in order to auto-login to that account. Take care while entering the password. Typing an incorrect password makes XP to freeze at startup (during authentication) due to incorrect password and then displays the Welcome Screen after few seconds. Alternate Method: Welcome to Windows Screen Appears When You Start Windows XP After You Install the .NET Framework 1.1: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=827072 -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Window XP Shell/User http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k "Jim" wrote in message ...
