Logon in Welcome Window of XP Home after Install & Updates

I have recently installed a fresh version of XP Home Edition and did all my
updates. After doing the last lot of updates I am now required to click on my
identity to log onto windows whereas previously it went straight through the
welcome screen to the desktop. A friend of mine also has had this happen
recently as well. I went into the User Accounts in the control panel and
there is no change to the settings that I can do to get it back the way it
was - going straight past the welcome screen to the desktop.

Any clues to what has changed or how to fix it?

Hi Deekus,

Have a look here:
