I am wanting to use a desktop with XP Pro for a host, and connect to it with
an XP home laptop.

I can configure the desktop host, so that it connects/dials up att worldnet
upon boot, but there is a catch 22, it wont dial up until I login to windows
xp, which I cant do if i'm remote and disconnected.

Is there any way to set XP Pro so that hitting <enter> to a login box is not
required on boot?

It just seems like the first time I ever have to reboot, the desktop host
will be 'orphaned' until I get home, which could be a while sometimes

Tweak UI has autologon feature.

Go to Start -> Run -> control userpasswords2. Uncheck "Users must
enter a user name and password to use this computer". In the box
that pops up enter the appropriate information.

That's one way:

The other way is Start, Run, "control userpasswords2" <enter>
(quotes not needed)

and uncheck Users must enter a username..... and click apply.
