If you don't have any other user accounts created then you are the
ADMINISTRATOR by default. All XP systems must have actual ADMINISTRATOR
account (normally hidden unless you know how to get at it) and other named
individual who is also an administrator but he is normally visible.

Now if you are the only user then you just go to windows without the startup
screen unless you also created a password to your account.

You can stop this darn from starting by going to Start/Run/Msconfig /all and
then stopping this from Services tab.
