Windows XP Home: I read an article somewhere recently to avoid the logon screen, going direct to the desktop. This required a single edit in the registry. I forget how to undo this. Does anyone have the details, please?

This has to be a registry edit, except I dont think I can even do that. My account is limited, I can't install or uninstall, can't change anything in the control panel.
