How do I remove the Windows ''Log-on'' box?

This one...

I was originally getting the welcome screen, but I turned this off, and now the above appears. I don't have a password neither, so it's just ''enter'' on the box

Do you only have the one user? Make sure it's set to no password (rather than a blank password) and only one user and Windows ought to just log in automatically. Always has done for me at least!

Click [Start] [Run] and type
control userpasswords2
Click [OK]
The [User Accounts] Property Sheet displays.
On [Users] tab, clear the [Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer] check box.
Click [Apply].
Enter a user name and password that should be used to logon automatically in the dialog box that appears.
Click [OK].
Go to [Control Panel] [User Accounts] [Change the Way Users Log On and Off].
Uncheck [Use the Welcome Screen] and [Use Fast User Switching]

Hopefully that will help

Try the TweakUI powertoy (www.microsoft.com) and enable autologon.

Have you installed the .NET Framework recently? As the ASP.NET user account normally sets this off.

Did you uninstall the Framework? All you need to do is delete the user account.
