Windows Start Up Screen

Does anybody know how to fix this problem? When I boot up, instead of the pc going to the desktop, it now stops where my User name is (as if I had more than one user which I don't). I have to click that big Icon with my name in it to continue on to the desktop. Is there a way around this? Thank You.

    You can fix this with  Tweak UI
     
    To fix it, expand the logon tab, click autologon, and check the "Log on automatically at system startup checkbox".

    You'll need to uncheck the 'use welcome screen' in User Accounts (at Control Panel), its the part called Change the way users log on and off.

    Hmmmm. I didn't realize there might be more than one answer for this. Hopefully something works right. ;)

    There's even a third answer--uncheck "Fast User switching" in Control Panel, User Accounts.

    If you installed recently .NET Framework 1.1, this should apply.
