Windows XP Pro, using an account named 'dh' (my IRC nickname lol) created in the Windows XP Setup Wizard. I've never used the built-in one as yet.

Thanks again

Just to clarify:

You have Use the Welcome Screen checked?

Or?

Perhaps set a password for your account to force a logon screen.

Or perhaps create another account.

If this is a fairly recent issue you might try a system restore to a point prior to the problem.
