Logging on Windows XP
I recently had to format my harddrive due to something majorly cocking up "long story" I reinstalled everything etc, and i used to just turn my computer on, and it would boot straight up to the desktop screen. Now i can't seem to do that anymore. I go to user accounts in control panel, and turn off the welcome screen, which i thought would boot you straight to your desktop, but it doesn't, it comes up with the classic logon prompt instead. Its not that much of a big deal, but i like to have it boot straight to the desktop, so i dont have to wait or anything. Thanks

Try popping the welcome screen back on and removing all the accounts bar your own, should work.
Welcome screen off it will always use the classic login IIRC

Go to account manager, and remove all other accounts as MS like adding an account in, some net service account.

Remove your password. You can't set it to go straight to desktop if you have a password set.

Go to start>run and type "control userpasswords2" - without the ""s, and press enter.
In the box that comes up, highlight the account name (single click) that you want to automatically log in to when windows starts. Then uncheck the box at the top of the window which says something like "users must enter a password to log on to this computer". Then click ok, and it'll log on automatically

Isn't this the same as going in to the account via the start menu and just simply removing the password and telling it not to show the welcome screen?

I don't think so... But I might be looking at a different bit of the start menu! hehe.. How are you getting to that screen, as there are a few different ways of getting to the user accounts through the start menu
