I took out my password, but each time I start my computer I still have
a log on icon that I have to click each time.

Is there an option to start the computer using me as the default user
without having to do anything at start up?
 
Hi,

Sure, just run "control userpasswords2" from the start/search line. Click
continue at the UAC prompt. On the first tab of the dialog box, click on
your user account, the on you want to automatically logon to. Uncheck the
box requiring users to logon with a user name and password. Click apply/ok
and follow the prompts.

The page you sent me to was already unchecked in the box for users to
use passwords.
There was an admin and my name listed, but the options were grayed.
I could not change anything with the box unchecked.

My comuter does not ask for a password, but it still has my icon to
click each time I load Windoze.

Thanks

Enable the checkbox, click apply/ok and reboot, then repeat the above
