Windows XP Log in Accounts screen

When booting up into XP, how do I make the system skip the user accounts page ? I am the only person who uses this computer so the selection is just an inconvenience.

 

Control panel>user accounts>change the way users logon

 

I did the above, but then I have to type in a user name instead of simply clicking on one. I would like to get rid of this altogether so that at boot up the system simply goes straight into windows without me having to do anything.

 

Go to Start>Run, type in (or copy and paste from here) "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes, with the space after "control "), click OK.

In the resulting window, uncheck the box for "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer," click OK.

Click once on the account you want to logon automatically to select it, click OK. Enter the password for that account (or leave it blank if there isn't one) and click OK.

That should do it.

 

Thanks Dave, last suggestion worked perfectly.

 

Credit goes to Miz for that one. (at least, that's where I got it)
