Hi Michael,

You can setup a user account to login by doing the following:

Go to the following Microsoft website and download the PowerToy TweakUI:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
After you download and install it you can launch it by going to Start ->
Run -> TweakUI
Click on Logon and then enter the User name you want to automatically login.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
