When Windows boots or restarts, the Welcome window (Welcome screen) appears. You need to select an account, and then enter the password in the input window that appears. This is useful if there are several users on the computer. But if only you work on the computer under one account, and you rarely use all the others? Then you can turn off the welcome window by making an automatic login using your account.
Necessary
administrator password and password for the account that will be loaded by default
Instructions
Step 1
Click the "Start" button - in the search box directly on it, type control userpasswords2 - and press Enter. A warning will appear "Windows needs permission to continue" - select "Allow".
Step 2
The "User Accounts" window opens. Select with the mouse the username whose account should be loaded by default - uncheck the box "Require username and password" - and click "Apply".
Step 3
The "Auto Login" window appears. Enter your password, confirm it and click OK.
Step 4
Reboot your computer. The welcome window is disabled. Now the computer will automatically load the required account without showing the welcome screen and without requiring an additional password.
Step 5
This method works in Windows Vista and Windows 7. To remove the welcome window in Windows XP, click "Start" - "Control Panel" - "User accounts" - "Change user logon" and uncheck the "Use the welcome page" checkbox.
