OK, I hate it when I start up my computer early to be ready when I get back, and I find it at the log on screen. I have no password so how do I make it skip the log on screen and go strait to my desktop?

OK, I think there's some way to do so within User Accounts, but I know there's something in TweakUI that you can set who logs in. TweakUI is a free download, just search for it.

Go into User Accounts in the Control Panel. The setting is in there, just hunt for it.

Go to Start>Control Panel>User Accounts>Click on Change the way users long on and off>and uncheck use the welcome screen.

If that doesnt work post back here and we can figure out what is wrong.
