I have the answer for How 
do I turn off the password screen when Windows Starts?:

Follow the steps below to automate logon which means you don't have to log on manualy it does it as soon as the computer starts up. You can configure Windows to automate the logon process if your computer is not part of a domain. 1. Click Start, click Run, and type control userpasswords2. 2. Clear the Users must enter a username and password to use this computer check box. 3. Click Apply. 4. Enter the user name and password you wish to automatically log on with, and then click OK. 5. Click OK again and you're all done. This feature allows other users to start your computer and use the account that you establish to automatically log on. Enabling auto logon makes your computer more convenient to use, but can pose a security risk.

This also means that anyone who then turns on your computer has access to your files.

And it was correctly answered. I was giving the precautionary advice that should have also been included with said correct answer. Your follow up answer back to my post should have been "Thank-you for your concern, but I am not worried about security at this time." Instead, you make yourself look like an immature fool.

I'm not the person who wants it so why would I say: Thank-you for your concern, but 
I am not worried about 
security at this time." when it is not me who wants this so I would not be worride 
would I.

Anyway sorry for being pretty childish.

AH, I jumped the gun. After re-reading the entire thread, your DUH, comment does apply to me. I read it as you asking the question, not supplying the answer. My apologies as well.
