237173 2004-05-17 07:15:00 I've just done a critical update for XP and its changed my settings so that I now have to go through a logon user screen.

Previously when I started the computer it would go straight through and automatically log me on as "owner". Now there is a screen that wants me to click on "owner" before anything else happens.

As I'm the only user this is a real pain but I can't find a setting to change this. Can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance

then ensure that "use the welcome screen" it ticked and apply options.

(the only time i have seen where you have to click a user on the welcome screen is when either: you have logged off, or have more than 1 user account)
