I use Win XP Home Edition. When booting, Windows stops and asks me to choose profile settings. There is nothing really to chose - I have "Owner" option only. Is it possible to set Windows to go straight to "Owner" on start?

Thanks in advance for the help.

XP default behavior is to auto login if there is only one user. However,
if you have a password, then obviously you have no choice but enter a
password on the only user you have.

If you absolutely sure that your system is safe, you can always create
or force an auto login like so:

Click Start, Run and type CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
Remove the checkmark from User require.."
Clcik "Apply"
Now, fill-up your user information and password there.

There is also a registry hack for this but that's a little more involved
unless you are comfortable with RegEdit. If you want, let me know and I
give you the keys for the auto login using the reg hack.
