Default Getting rid of logon profile screen

The friend who set up my computer options for me set it up
with two profiles: one for me and one for my roommate.
But my roommate has his own computer and doesn't need mine
anymore.

It was easy to eliminate the Robert profile from the logon
screen, but now there's only ONE - mine. It would be
great to tell XP somehow to automatically choose that so
that my bootup would take my right to my desktop without
that unnecessary stop.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Milo,
Type CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 at Start>Run.. In the user accounts dialog box
that comes up next, uncheck "Users must enter a username and password to use
this computer". Hit apply and provide the username and password information
in the next dialog box.
