Set default user at logon - XP SP2

On my ThinkPad running XP SP2, when the Welcome screen comes up my default
user account (only account other than Guest, which is disabled) is already
selected and the cursor is in the password entry textbox awaiting input. On
my desktop, also running XP SP2, when the Welcome screen comes up it says
"Click your user name to login," even though there is only one user shown.
Both machines are side-by-side at the moment and I can't see a bloody thing
different in the User Accounts setup in Control Panel.
I would like to have my desktop logon be the same as my laptop, defaulting
to the password entry box for the only enabled user on the system, so that I
don't have to click the user name or press Tab twice to get the entry box. I
have Googled, but although I found a ton of Registry tweaks, and now know
how to change the LogonType (which only switches between Classic and Welcome
screens), I can't find out how to obtain this behavior. Can anybody give me
a pointer to a KB or something, or a better search term than I've been
using, or perhaps explain the process? Thanks.
Scott
