A while ago winxp simple began to boot to the login screen even though the computer only has one accound, at first it didn't bother but now it's getting annoying, so how can I get rid of it?
 
Try going to User Accounts and then 'change the way users log on or off' and untick welcome screen.
 
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.
