If you are a single user on your PC then there is no need of Welcome screen. Or you can also for performance purposes disable the welcome screen and use classical logon

For Windows XP

To temporarily use the classic logon screen, press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice on the Welcome logon screen.
To require Windows XP to use the classic logon and shutdown screens for every session:
1. Control Panel / User Accounts / Change the way users log on or off.
2. Clear the Use the Welcome screen box.

For Windows Vista

1.  Control Panel/ System Maintenance/ Administrative Tools/ local Security Policy. Click Continue to the prompt presented by the User Account Control. If you are not presented with one, it’s fine, just move on.

2. In the Local Security Policy editor you will see two panes, one on the left with tree-view navigation and one on the right which will have the actual definitions and items to edit. On the left hand side, expand (either by clicking on the arrow or double clicking) the Local Policies section, and then click on Security Options. On the right hand side, scroll down until you see Interactive logon: Do not display last user name. Double click on this entry and you will be presented with a dialog box that has two options - Enabled and Disabled, with Disabled being selected as default. Change this setting to Enabled, and then click on the OK button, and you are done
