:huh: Here a simple option, Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Change the way users log on or off > Deselect "Use the Welcome Screen" > OK.
However, that will only work if there is only one user on that computer. Make sure you have no passwords for that account before-hand.

omg, i've tried everything already. i have not set a password for my computer, but it still asks for one! i've used tweakui to logon me on automatically, but that didn't work. i went to control panel>user accounts>change the way users log on/off, deselected both items. i put my comp on stand by and it prompts for my p/w.
