remove the log-on screen at windows start up?

Since using the microsoft updates a month back or so I have to click on Chris to load up my windows account now. One of the updates installed an asp.net framework, it creates another windows account. I deleted it but still have to log on. I prefer xp to load up straight away without having to log on.

Btw I'm now using classic log on...

nar there is a way to change it mate, just cant remember what you have to do to change it

when you first get a fresh installation of xp put on your pc the start up welcome screen doesn't appear, soon as you put the security updates on from microsoft it changes

dam thing

im sure ill find out how to change it soon enough
