    Is there another account called something like "ASP.net"? Delete that account and you won't be prompted with the login screen anymore.

    Satyrion..u don't need to do anything with ASP.NET, u don't need to click any links to read anything, u don't need tweakui either..the answer to ur question is this.

    Do a start--> Run and type 'control userpasswords2' without quotes of course and hit enter or press ok. When the dialog box opens click on ur username then take out the check that says 'users must enter a username and password to use this computer'. Hit apply...u said u don't have a password set on the account so just click ok, and then ok again. Restart and u should be able to log in automatically.

    The TweakUI option is the easiest. Install the program and set up AutoLogon.
