I want control!

I'm running Windows XP. Until recently, I could turn on my computer, see a
brief welcome screen, and then my programs would start to load. I am the
only user of this machine,I only have two profiles loaded (mine and an
administrator) and had disabled the start screen. I recently did some
updates and now, no matter what I do, I've got one more thing to click, one
more choice to make, just to turn Windows on. I realize that this is
implemented for the sake of security and I appreciate the thought. Thank
you, but wouldn't it be less condescending to let the USERS choose the
actual implementation of security while you concentrate on providing the
tools, rather than shoving them down the users throat while he's unaware?
After all, you wouldn't expectan OS to automatically load a browser without
your knowledge ... oops. Sorry.
I would like my former functionality. I like the idea of turning on my
machine, running to the kitchen for a cup of java (no pun intended) and
coming back with my firewall, virus and spyware protection started, as well
as my other TSRs and my mail already downloaded and displayed. Which update
changed this configuration?
