When I re-boot my pc or just start it at the beginning of the day. Before
windows loads, I get this log-on screen. Says my name and I have to click on
it to load my settings. Fine. But I used to be able to re-start my pc and
comeback and see my desktop. Now I can't. I see that logon screen. I know it
can be disabled, just can't remember how.

Please help?

Regards: Scott

Remember how to Google and all of the other remembering can usually go away:

Search using Google!

That happens to me always when I install .NET framework 1.1
If that is your case too, find and apply the latest patch for it.
Also, download from micro$oft site TweakUI from the PowerToys package.
If I remember correctly, there is autologon (or somethin') option.
It works 100%
