You can also just remove the Welcome Screen option altogether and boot to a password logon instead.

Go to start>control panel>user accounts> change the way users log on or off and then uncheck the one that says *use the welcome screen*. That elimates that altogether. Liz

For multiple users however you will need to welcome screen to choose the profile which to login under.
