Hi

To configure autologon:

Click [Start] [Run] and type
control userpasswords2
Click [OK]
The [User Accounts] Property Sheet displays.
On [Users] tab, clear the [Users must enter a user name and password
to use this computer] check box.
Click [Apply].
Enter a user name and password that should be used to logon
automatically in the dialog box that appears.
Click [OK].
Go to [Control Panel] [User Accounts] [Change the Way Users Log On and
Off].
Uncheck [Use the Welcome Screen] and [Use Fast User Switching]


or alternatively you can use Tweak UI:

Download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp [...] ertoys.asp and
when installed go to Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI
- then go to Logon>Autologon.
