Boot straight to Windows?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi Kenny,
If you want, you must remove the ASPNET account...but i m telling
u...it might have some effects on your .NET (if i m not wrong, u have .NET
installed right)?

Run control userpasswords2 again.
Put the check mark back in the box next "Users must enter a user
name and password to use this computer".
Click Apply.
Next, remove the check mark.
Click Apply.
In the box that pops up replace the user name (by default it says
Administrator) with the name of your user account. It sounds as
if you missed this step earlier.
Leave the password lines empty and Click OK.
The next time your PC starts you should be logged on
automatically.

As for the ASP.net account, here's a site with some info on that
topic:
