Q: A doubled up startup screen problem
Configuring a new Macbook Air, after an abandoned attempt to transfer data from old to new mac, I have two startup 'screens' now. This happened because I was prompted to pick a different user account name, (presumably because there was already the original name registered) So now I have startup screen one, with one version of my computer account name, followed then by a second startup screen, with the slightly altered name. In trying to remove this duplicate, I removed the original in Users and Accounts, and it no longer appears there, but the startup screen persists, making it necessary for me to register twice to get online. Because I have configured all my websites , mail etc, I don't want to have to repeat all this. Can I somehow remove this first startup screen?

This turned out to be a File Vault setting. With File Vault turned off all is well.
