I had to install the .NET framework to be able to install a separate program, but now the blue screen where you have to click on which user is logging on appears on start-up and after my screen saver kicks in and I return to my PC. I had it set up previously where that screen never appeared. I'm the only user on this PC and I don't have to log on so these screen are just damned annoying. Especially since it appears every time after a few minutes of inactivity. Is there an option to kill this somewhere? Thanks!

[edit] Nevermind about the screen saver part... I just noticed that it put a new option for "On resume, display Welcome screen". So I unselected that option. Now I just need help with the start-up.

Check User Accounts under Control Panel. .NET Framework might have created an additional user. For example, when I installed Visual Studio .NET, it created ASP.NET Machine Account or something like that. That would explain the sudden need for logging in.

You can also disable the "Welcome Screen", but that, by itself, will not remove the need to login.
