What u asking for should work, only in the case of one user account on xp and the welcome screen is checked in control panel (classic view)/users accounts/ change the way users log on or off. If your account is the only one on xp, then what u get is not a welcome screen, it is a username and password window prompt like in win2k and winnt.

Possibility:

You may have Gina enabled, strange to me though, since I’m aware of Gina comes with xp home not pro.

Solution:

Under windows folder search inside system32 folder for file named Gina, if you have it, search box must find a file named something like gina86 or ginax86 or equivalent. Delete this file, you will be prompt with something like this: (deleting Gina will result in a change of security log on settings, once deleted it will not be restored, are you sure?)
When you click yes, you will be notified: changes will take effect on next system restart.

Ps.
1. Make sure that u have only one user account before doing the Gina thing; other wise u would not need do it
1. In search option let check search system / hidden files or folders
2. Deleting this file does not do any harm to your system.

Hope this help u

Good day!

Hello pikachu, if I understand you correctly, what you want to do is boot directly to the desktop without having to enter user name and password, is this correct? If so, since you are the only user I would make a second account and give it limited permissions. Then you can go to Start>Run and type control userpasswords2 and click OK. When the User Accounts dialog box opens uncheck the box that says "Users must use name and password to use this computer". Reboot, you should go directly to the desktop after the splash screen appears(screen that says Windows XP blah, blah, blah..). Give it a try and let us know how you make out.
