Bypassing Welcome screen in XP
 |
New poster, couldn't find this in the archives; sorry if this has been posted.
Have had my computer for last 6 months. When I first brought it home & started it up, I'd turn on the computer, and it would go right to the main screen (with start menu, etc.). After a week or so, I started it up and then it went to the blue welcome screen, and I had to click on 'New User' before it would completely load up.
Well, I did a complete system reboot last week, and when it started up, it bypassed the welcome screen (which is what I prefer). Today I did my Windows Update, and after installing & rebooting, I get the Welcome screen again, and I have to click on the icon before it'll completely startup.
Is there any way to bypass or disable this? The computer takes awhile to load up as it is, so I like to turn it on, do some things, and come back to an up-and-running computer. Having the welcome screen is just a pain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Chris
