Answer:
Hiya Jazzie2007, No Problem! Here is a step-by-step how-to:: To remove the WELCOME screen on Windows XP: 1) Click the START button and open the CONTROL PANEL. 2) Click and open USER ACCOUNTS 3) Under PICK A TASK, click CHANGE THE WAY USERS LOG ON AND OFF 4) Remove the check from the box next to USE THE WELCOME SCREEN 5) Click the APPLY OPTIONS button 6) ALL DONE, when you restart there will be no Welcome screen or little pictures next to each user. If there is more then 1 user, they will need to type in the user name and password instead of clicking the picture. GOOD LUCK!

It depends what brand of computer you have. But most likely during the boot process you will see an option to hit a key such as F12, F1, or Delete. These are the most common ones. This will take you to the BIOS and depending on the version and type of the BIOS there is most likely an option in there where you can disable the startup screen.
