    Hi,

    on start up XP home in my Acer netbook the "Log On to windows" comes up.

    Where the user name is it shows "user" & no password shown.

    By pressing OK it continues the boot up.

    I never asked to log on & this started the last few months.

    Any way to stop this happening?

    Have a look at the login options in Control Panel > User Accounts. You may need to check Use the Welcome screen

    Have a look at this page. I automatically log in to Win XP and Vista and get to my desktop a lot quicker.
