    When I first got my laptop it booted straight to wondows bypassing the welcome screen. One day I decided to change my user picture (Im the only user) and now it boots to the welcome screen despite me not even having a password.
    How can I get windows to boot straight to windows again?

    Start->Run
    control userpasswords2

    Uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." and select the user which will be logged on automatically (you).
