remove windows xp user logon profile

normally when we reinstall windows xp, before we create any username, windows would start up, goes into windows without prompting for username and password. Sometimes, somehow there is a logon page with username = user, no password and we can login only after clicking enter to bypass the logon page. how can we remote this pop up everytime we start up or re-login to windows?

Hi grnow,

 to remove the login page entirely, go to Start > Run , enter 'control userpasswords2'  and press enter.  On the screen that appears, uncheck the box 'Users must enter a username and password to use this computer'.

Let me know if that doesn't sort it for you.
