Skip Welcome Screen [only one user]

By olli.coker@conocophillips ·
Ok. I give up. Somehow with all the patches from MS, the welcome screen has come back to haunt me. I seem to remember it was pretty simple to get rid of since there is only one user on this WinXP Pro computer, but I cannot find the silver bullet. Help?
