Eliminating the sign-in screen

[bullwinkle]

I have Win XP sp2.  For no discernible reason I now have to click on as Administrator when starting a session or returning from down time.

What caused this and how can I eliminate it?

Thanks

Go into your Display Settings and select the Screensaver tab.

You'll notice a box with a tick mark:  On resume, display Welcome screen

Untick that box and save your settings...you should be good to go.

Thank you very much.

I figured it would be simple.

Much appreciated.

You're welcome...

One last question:

Now how do you eliminate the log-on screen from the initial boot?

I still have no idea how it suddenly appeared.

It's automatic after one of the Service Pack updates...I forget which one...

Anyway...

Did you have a password before for your account?  Are you the Administrator or just a user?
