how make xp boot to desktop?

Hi,
My friend's dell laptop stops in the middle of the boot and waits
until she clicks on her user icon befor finish booting. She is the
only one who uses the computer, and her's is the only account
on it.
Is there a way to make it just boot all the way to the desktop?
TIA for any help with this.
Mike
