XP Changed a Setting. Help!

[Rubicon]

Hello. After installing a new scanner, XP changed the setting on how I open XP. Now, I must click on my Administrative Name to have the welcome screen removed and XP is open. I cannot find a way to change it back to where nothing has to be done other than boot up the pc. I am the only operator.

It tells me to go to control panel and user accounts if I want to change anything, but, there is nothing there to change which would fix the matter... that I can see.

Thank you so much for your assistance!
