To turn off the Windows 7 Welcome screen (the user account selection screen that appears before you log in), you can follow these steps:
1. Press Win + R: This opens the "Run" dialog.
2. Type "control userpasswords2" and press Enter: This opens the User Accounts window.
3. Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer": This setting is typically at the top of the window.
4. Click Apply
5. Enter your username and password: A dialog will appear where you can enter your credentials to automatically log in.
6. Click OK
7. Reboot your computer: The next time you start Windows, it should log you in automatically without showing the Welcome screen.
This method will bypass the Welcome screen and log you in directly to your desktop on Windows 7.
If you ever want to revert this setting and bring back the Welcome screen, you can go through the same process and re-check the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option.
