XP bootup to Welcome screen

I have only one user defined to XP Pro. When I look at 'User Accounts' there are three. The other two are 'Guest' and 'ASP.NET'. When I boot up, it stops at the Welcome screen with the single icon, and even though I do not have it passworded, I have to click on the icon to logon. On my other computer, it does not stop at the Welcome screen - just goes to the desktop. How can I make it do that?

Thanks.
 
"Click Start, Run and type CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2, and click Ok. Select the user account from the list (to which account you want to automatically logon). Uncheck Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer option, and click Ok. Type the user account password and complete the process.

For Windows XP Home, don't try to auto-login as the built-in Administrator, as you'll receive a restrictions error."
