Logon Screen

Hi all,
Is there a way to not show the logon screen? I would like to go from the
boot screen directly to my desktop and not see the logon screen at all.
Using Vista Ultimate.
Thanks in advance,
Alice

Thanks for the reply,
I've done all that. I don't see my name anymore but the welcome screen is
still there (but does auto logon) doing I don't know what.

The "Welcome" screen is loading your desktop. There is no way to simply go
from the boot screen directly to the desktop, the desktop (and all your
related settings/startup programs) have to be loaded at some point, and it's
during the Welcome screen that this happens.
