    Default removing user choice at XP startup

    Mine is the only user choice and I'd like to eliminate the halt on startup (so I can chose my name). I am the admin and when I looked at users in the control panel it said an admin can't delete his name.

    Try this.

    right click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, User Profiles

    On a one user system you should see you and Administrator.

    You can delete any others.

    There is only one entry and it is me, I am the admin. I just want to remove the halt to choose at startup.

    If you go to control panel, user accounts, change the way users log on or off
    Is it set to use the Welcome Screen?

    If so, I guess I am unclear as to the problem.

    Would you post a screen shot of the halt?

    It is the halt where you choose a user to logon. I only have one choice since there are no other users on my computer.

    Like I said
