Startup

We have machines running XP Pro on a simple peer to peer
network where we want to have each machine start up
without having to take the extra step of selecting an
account. There are two accounts - one administrator, and
a second which limits access. The only reason for the
second is to reduce the risk when connected to the net.
There may be a better way to reduce risk from the
outside, but I'm not aware of any.

Is there a way to set up a default startup account to
avoid having to "choose" upon startup?

Is there a way to give power user capabilities to this
account when on a peer to peer?
