How do I turn off the welcome screen/classic log in prompt off. I dont want
either. I want my computer to start up directly to my desktop without
signing in.

I am using XP Home Edition V2002 SP2.

I figured out how to switch between the welcome and classic log on... but
can't find the option for neither.

THANK YOU.
