Log on screen - How to stop

[BigTimeNovice]

Once I close and then re-open the laptop screen, XP makes me click on the only account on the computer to get back to windows. Is there a way to just open the laptop screen and it go directly to windows? When I start the computer normally, it does not require me to select the account since there's only one account anyways.

Thanks in advance

Hi BigTimeNovice.


I am not completly familiar with laptops but you can try going to the screensave tab in display properties and unchecking "on resume, display welcome screen. Hope it helps

The option you are looking for is to go to Control Panel -> Power Options -> Advanced tab, and uncheck the "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby"

If that doesn't work, TweakUI will get rid of the logon screen.
