Windows XP now making me reenter password from Welcome screen

Recently, Windows XP Professional started going to the Welcome screen and
turning off the monitor instead of just turning off the monitor after a
certain period of time. This seems to have started immediately after I
installed Visual Studio .NET 2003. Does anybody know what could have
happened, or what settings I need to check (I think they all looked the same
as before, but I could be wrong)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
I probably forgot to mention that I do want the Welcome screen to appear
when I boot my computer, because my username does have a password, it is
only when returning from the Turn off monitor: setting in Power Option ->
Power Schemes is reached that I did not want to see the Welcome screen. But
luckily I was just looking in the wrong place. Somehow the On resume,
display Welcome screen option got selected in the Screen Saver settings, so
I just had to uncheck that. But I still greatly appreciate your quick
response and effort. Thanks.
 
No, you mentioned that. I just didn't read it correctly. :-)

Glad you got it fixed.
