Till yesterday my XP run PC booted straight to desktop. However after a problem with .NET and uninstalling and re-instaling it as per Microsoft instructions. I now boot to a screen asking which account I want to boot to, although I am the only account and the only option.
How can I eliminate this page and return to a straight boot to desktop. Cheers.
 
I don't have to enter a password. I am confronted with a small box with my name which I have to click to access the desktop.
 
Sorry if I am missing the point or not explaining myself properly.
Before the bootup did not stop at all and went to desktop. Now it stops at a login screen which has my name in a box. It does not require any password but I have to OK the box to enter desktop.
I want to return to the old way where I booted straight to desktop and not stop at a login screen.
 
I unclicked the box with the usernames and after apply I was taken to the admin page. I did not enter passwords thinking that was the right way. Now I am taken to a screen in boot up saying that I cannot enter windows. I click ok on that and am taken to the logon screen. So, I am now worse off.

Even if I enter a password I am taken to the earlier screen

After another google hit, I found this "For Windows XP Home, don't try to auto-login as the built-in Administrator, as you'll receive an error message"

Noow what should I do?
