Bypass Welcome Screen & Logon Prompt

When I boot up (Windows XP Professional SP3), I get either the Welcome Screen, or the Classic Logon Prompt screen. I don't want either of these, I want my computer to completely boot up to the desktop. I am the only user/administrator and do not require any accounts.

Answer
1. Click start, run, type "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes) and click OK or press Enter to open the Windows 2000-style User Accounts application.
 
2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then
    click OK.
 
3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user name and password for the account you want to be
    logged on each time you start your computer.
