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.

|I am running XP Home SP 1 with all the latest updates from
