Dont want to sign-in on XP

Whenever I turn my computer on, it boots up and goes to the screen where I have to click on my name and sign in to actually get into regular windows. How do I skip this? I am the only user. Also, how do I change the user (owner) name?

Head into control panel, and select 'User Accounts'. Click 'change the way users log on or off'. Once there, untick 'use the welcome screen'.

You then need to make sure your account is not password protected. From the main user accounts screen, click your own account to change this if necessary.
