You can use the following steps to enable automatic logon:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type: control userpasswords2 , and then click OK.
3. In the dialog box that appears, clear the "Users must enter a user name
and password to use this computer" check box, and then click OK.

Right click the Desktop, select Properties, Screen Saver. Uncheck the box "On resume......." Additionally, on the Screen Saver tab, click the Power button. On the Advanced tab, uncheck Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby.
