new screen now appearing in my boot process
wife unplugged (by mistake) computer while it was on (did not get to shut down thru win). when i rebooted (and every time thereafter) i get this blue screen that appears right after the win xp splash screen which says: "to begin, click your user name". after complying with the request, i then get:
"welcome, loading your personal settings". then my desktop appears and everything is okay.
could anyone tell me how to remove this from my boot process, please. now i stay with it throughout the entire boot process just to click the mouse twice.
pls help

To turn the Welcome screen on or off
You must have a computer administrator account to turn the Use the Welcome screen feature on or off.
Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
Click Change the way users log on or off.
Do one of the following:
To specify that users log on to the computer using the Welcome screen, select the Use the Welcome screen check box.
A user logs on to the computer by clicking his or her user account name on the Welcome screen. If a password is assigned to the account, the user is prompted to type it.
To specify that users log on to the computer without using the Welcome screen, clear the Use the Welcome screen check box.
The Welcome screen will no longer appear when you start the computer. To log on to the computer, type your user name (and password, if you have one) in the standard Log On to Windows dialog box.

thanks for the response on new screen now appearing in boot process. followed your instructions but it didn't help. i just traded a headache for an upset stomach. here's what happens now, whenever i boot:: instead of the previous screen (asking me to click on my user name), i now get a screen with a dialog box with a drop down menu with the options: shut down, restart and standby. once i select an option and click ok, it tells me that it's saving my settings and completes the boot process and a splash screen from my creative sb soundcard (which it didn't do b4).
tks again for trying to help. any more ideas i can try. i'm desperate !!
