Matt,

Click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 Check the box Users
must enter a username and password..... Click Apply. Then uncheck the
Users must ........... box and click Apply again. Enter the username that
you want automatically logged on, as it appears on the Welcome Screen and
any password that is set for that account, if any.
