Bypassing Classic Logon screen

I've bypassed the XP Pro Welcome screen by unchecking "Use the Welcome
screen" in 'User Accounts'.
Now when I reboot I get the 'Classic Logon Prompt'.
How do I bypass this so XP Pro boots straight to windows?

From the Start button, select 'Run...' and type in "control userpasswords2".

In the dialogue box that opens there is an option to not have to enter
username and password and select the account. It will ask for a pasword,
but there after the machine will boot directly into the selected account.

1) Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
2) Check the box, Users must enter a username...........
3) Highlight the user you want automatically logged on.
4) Uncheck the box, Users must.............
5) Click Apply
6) In the next dialog, enter the password for the account you chose in step
3

Often the account that is selected/highlighted when you first run
USERPASSWORDS2 is the Administrator account. If it has a blank password,
that is the account you'll be logged into.

You, and anybody else who gains access to your computer, like your
roommate's friend or a hacker in Bulgaria.
