Hi there
I'm waiting to see if this old hardy perennial will work on the new Windows 8.1 when booting directly to the desktop.
You can currently bypass the Windows welcome screen at boot time quite simply (although on Win 8 it simply takes you immediately to the start screen).
Simply do this to sign in automatically at startup:

Reboot machine -- and you will be taken straight to the start screen.
Hopefully this will work when Boot directly to desktop is implemented.
Cheers
