Solved: Windows XP Login Screen Prompt
hey guys,

im running windows XP, and im the only person using my computer. so i have no other user accounts. But when i start it up, windows prompts me for a password when i have no password set to login. and all i have to do is click OK. and windows starts to boot up.
i would like to change it to where i can turn on my computer walk away and come back and its ready to go. instead of waiting to click OK so it can continue to boot up.
what do i change?

Thanks
