The Welcome to Windows screen appears when you start Windows XP after you install the .NET Framework 1.1
On This Page
SYMPTOMS
When you install the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 on
a computer that is running Windows XP, and then you start Windows, the Welcome
screen appears. This screen prompts you to click your user name to start
Windows.
Notes- This behavior occurs although you have created only one
local user account that does not have a password.
- This behavior does not occur when you install the
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0.
CAUSE
When you install the .NET Framework 1.1, a hidden
local user account that is named ASPNET is created. When you start Windows,
Windows treats the ASPNET local user account as an additional user account,
although the ASPNET user account is hidden. Therefore, the Welcome screen appears and prompts you to click your user name.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for the .NET Framework 1.1. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

How to obtain Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
STATUS
This
behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
When you start Windows on a computer that is running Windows XP and that has
only one local user account, and this local user account does not have a password, the Welcome screen does not appear. Instead, your desktop appears.
However, when you start Windows on a computer that is running Windows XP and that has more than
one local user account, the Welcome screen appears.
Steps to Reproduce the Behavior
- On a computer that is running Windows XP, verify the following:
- The computer has only one local user
account.
- The local user account does not have a password.
- Install the .NET Framework 1.1.
Before you install the .NET Framework 1.1, verify that
your computer meets the hardware requirements and the software requirements
for installing the .NET Framework 1.1.

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each

edits), please consult a professional.
