Disabling the welcome screen and password in Windows XP

by gmwolfie . Updated 18 years, 10 months ago

I don’t know what happened, but suddenly when I perform a restart on my Windows XP Home machine, I have to click my name to complete the reboot. Prior to recently, the system simply rebooted and that was that. I never had to screw around with this clicking identity business. Is there, there must be, a way to totally disable this? I’ve been in the Control Panel/User Account area and there is little help there, I can stop the welcome screen, but still have to endure the password box that appears. There is no password setup, so it’s simply a click. I’ve also noticed that another”user”, namely, “ASP.NET Machine A…” also shows up here, any idea what this might be?

Any help here is appreciated.
Thanks,

Gerry
