Windows XP Home edition

Is there a way to disable, or bypass the welcome screen
and the initial user account logon screen as I am the only
user on my home computer?

I have tried several different things that did not work.

Is there a way that Windows can load without requiring a
logon screen, etc.?

Hi

From Start>Run type in

control userpasswords2

then uncheck 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer' and click 'Apply'. On the next screen - 'Automatically Log On' - delete the name 'Administrator' from the User name box and enter your account name and then the password in the next two boxes. OK your way out and then reboot your system.
