Ok heres is what I want to do. I want to bypass the logon welcome screen all together. I want to turn the computer on and it starts up all the way into windows with out any interaction. I use to be able to do this on a previous instalation but now I either forgot how or it did it by itself. I only have 1 user account on this computer and its me. This is all I have ever had even on previous instalations. I always thought that if you have only 1 user and have no password it would automaticly boot straight into windows with out stoping at the welcome screen waiting for you to click on your name.

Thnx.
 
Start | Run | Type...control userpasswords2 and click OK | On the "Users" tab, clear the "Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer" check box and then click OK | In the "Automatically Log On" dialog box that appears, type the user name and password for the account you want to be logged on each time you start your computer.
