Default Windows XP Login Screen

Hello,

Not sure what I did, but now, whenever I turn on my computer, I get asked for a password and login (on my home computer), it never did that before. How can I change it back so that it just opens up to the desktop when I turn the computer on?

Thanks.

.NET ghost account might be on the computer. Go to Control Panel>Users and delete it.
