This could be the normal behaviour of XP, if you have joined the PC to a
DOMAIN. Once a workstation is a member of a domain the User Login Screen is
required.

Otherwise as noted in the previous reply the autologon feature can be
re-enabled.

Thanks, the original solution seemed to work. I have no idea what a domain
is, but my computer is part of my home network and I have shared folders on
this computer. Is that what a domain is?
