try this:

1. Click on your Start button.

2. Go to "Run"

3. Type "control userpasswords2" and click OK button.

4. A User Account dialog box will appear. Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer." and click OK button.

tell us how it goes.

it could just be that you changed it and forgot or when you left the computer unattended someones else changed it for you.

Oh sorry epots9,
My problem isnot yet solved. Thats time i thought that i got rid this problem , but no. Beacause at that time when i uncheck the "Users must enter auser name and password to use this computer" Then I click ok and then a messege is shown to logoff and i did this. And I saw my user account on welcome screen and i login, but after that when I restart the computer, again same problem, user account is not shown. and at this time on welcome screen showing "Logging your parsonal settings" replace of Welcome and then the desktop is shown.

And now I want to see user account Icon on welcome screen , before i have that. And one thing when i log off , (and also giving a password or swiching on guest account) my user account icon is shown but when i start or restar my computer the icon is not shown. It showning only welcome and after few second it is working. I think here will be a option to enable the user account Icon on welcome screen, but did not found this.

Try having a look at the registry, (start -> run -> regedit) especially the entries under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ Current Version \ Winlogon

If the entry AutoAdminLogon is set to 1, change it to 0 and try restarting the system.

By the way, apparently you should be able to get the log-on screen without those changes, if you keep the Space-Key pressed while the startup sequence. Maybe you should try that first, just to make sure.

Is that of any help?
