Windows XP Logon Screen

I used to be able to turn on my computer and it would boot up with no input
from me. I had to reload XP on a new c:\disk and now, when I boot up I get a
screen with two lines. first line says "username=owner" . Second line says
"password" and is blank. I have to click on OK to finish the logon and get to
my desktop.
How can I eleminate this process and get back to what I had?

Many thanks!

Keeping in mind that configuring your computer to logon a user account
automatically significantly reduces the system's security, here are two options.

1. Download and install TweakUI from Microsoft. TweakUI is
available here.
