You must have UN-selected the welcome option in the user accounts, because the welcome
screen doesn't ask you for a password if you don't have one.

Go to Start > Run, type in control userpasswords2 and click Okay. See if the box
is checked next to "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer."
If so, uncheck the box.

There is handy tool in the form of a bootable cd that can be found at
home.eunet.no/~pnordah/ntpasswd/cd040818.zip
It boots linux and runs a utility that allows you to reset passwords for any account
and it’s free.
Or if you want a floppy version use this
home.eunet.no/~pnordah/ntpasswd/bd040818.zip
It’s simple to use but take care and READ every step before pressing Enter

It appears that the web link that I gave you is not relevant. Here is the updated
one http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

i'm trying to change my settings so that i don't get a welcome screen at all in an
unactivated copy of windows XP.... the problem is, i can't access my start menu and
click run because the start menu and my desktop are unavailable. all i can use is
explorer. i have no password, and only one user account.
i want windows to log me on automatically at startup so that i don't get prompted
to enter a product key, or at least get a "remind me later" type option. please advise.

Maybe all you have to do is repair windows if not successful you have to reinstall
all of it and disable the auto update of windows.. Never enter the windows website
it will detect you as a piracy. then you can do what you want.
