How do I get rid of the start and log in screens when 8.1 boots? I would like to go straight to my desktop.

Also, can I get rid of the Windows start button and use Classic Shell instead?

I'm unsure if you can bypass the log in screen as it not only logs into your account but also loads drivers and the OS in the background.

What I'd like to know is if you can make log in picture smaller system wide.

Thanks Shawn, that's solved that problem. I have upgraded to 8.1.

I have Classic shell installed but Windows boots up showing the Windows start button. How do I get it to load the Classic start button instead?

OK, that one is solved too. Found an update for Classic Shell fo 8.1 which resolved the issue.

Thanks again Shawn.
