Why do I see the Welcome screen before the sign on screen in AOL Desktop?

AOL Desktop integrates e-mail, Web browsing, instant messaging, and other online activities into a single, easy-to-use application, letting you multitask in fewer clicks. Browse the Web without signing in to the AOL Desktop provided you have an internet connection. You no longer have to use a separate browser or sign in just to check what time a movie is playing or catch up on the latest news. Launch the AOL Desktop software, freely surf the web, and then when you decide to check your mail or other personal information, you can easily sign on and have full access to all the features of AOL Desktop software. To be prompted to sign in at startup, check Always ask me to sign in at startup.

Note: If the images are different from what you see on your computer, you do not have the latest version of AOL® Desktop software. Please install the latest version of AOL Desktop software.
