How do I hide Windows 7 Welcome Screen
I run Windows 7 Home Premium (64) with IE8 and MSE.
When I power the PC on I first get the "Windows Starting up" screen with the Windows 7 logo and then I get the blue "Welcome screen" with the flower stalk image across it. I don't get or want the logon password box and there are no User Account details or pictures on the screen - it's just "Welcome". As this screen serves no purpose for me I would like it to be hidden/disabled so that at boot the PC would go from the "Windows starting" screen straight to my "Desktop" (I am the only user and the PC is in a secure environment).
I have searched extensively for an answer and tried all the recommended steps - control userpasswords2 and then untick etc - but nothing works. Can anyone advise, please, how to hide the blue screen with just "Welcome" on it?
Many Thanks
