Preventing the Password Prompt in a Non-Domain System
      1. In Control Panel, double-click Users and Passwords.
      2. Click to clear the Users must enter a user name and password to use
this computer check box.

      NOTE: This option does not appear on a system that is a member of a
domain.
      3. Click the Advanced tab.
      4. Click to clear the Require users to press Ctrl-Alt-Del before
logging on check box.
Automatic logon is not supported when you are logging on to a domain. You
will need to join a workgroup if you want to use the automatic logon
feature.
