Remove the need to enter a password to login to XP
If you are exasperated by the welcome screen and the need to enter a password for your user account, you can disable this fairly easily, but be careful. If your computer is connected directly to the Internet by a cable or DSL modem, do not do this. It’s just not worth the risk.
In fact if you are at all concerned about the privacy of your data, keep a strong password enabled for your XP user account. If you are sure you want the password gone, and the welcome screen with it, here’s what to do:
To get rid of the welcome screen, you need to have only a single main user account and have the Guest account deactivated.
Go to ’start\run’ and type ‘control userpasswords2′
Remove any other user accounts that appear on the welcome screen by highlighting them and using the ‘remove’ button.
Now go to ’start\control panel\user accounts’ and select your user account.
Choose ‘remove password’ and enter your password to strip it from your account. Note the warning.
Windows XP should now boot straight up without the welcome screen or a password prompt.
