After creating 4 accounts/profiles on a XP professional desktop, I have over time deleted/removed the account not needed till there is only one - mine as the admin. I want to be able to boot the PC directly to the desktop rather than have to go through the'Welcome' screen. Going through the welcome screen takes ages before there is recognition that there are no accounts/profiles to process.
How do I achieve this?

I can understand ur issue I have two suggestions for ur problem........

1. This solution is not secured but if u are the only user to use ur pc u can do this on the logon screen if u have only one account then go to the control panel and in the user remove password for ur account, when xp starts it checks for the password so if there is no password and one account then it will automatically logon u without showing welcome screen.

2.This solution is also not secured but if u r the only user then right click on my computer and click on properties and on the network identification tab click on network id and then tell the wizard that always assume this user to log on and below u will mention theuser and his password and u r done........

If you have deleted all accounts, except for the one you wish to keep, the only way I know of to enable the welcome screen to be by-passed, is to make sure you don't have a password on that account. If it still doesn't work, you could try loading "Tweak UI 1.33". I don't know if you are familiar with that program, but you can get it from www.download.com, and what it does, is enable you to log in an account automatically (even with a password on the account), and other pretty slick features. I have not tested it with XP, but I'm sure it would work. Once you get the program, it's pretty easy to navigate around in it. I hope that helps you...
