Thor Kottelin has you looking in Control Panel -> User Accounts in order to configure automatic logon. This won't help you logon automatically. Even with the Welcome screen enabled, you'd still be asked to logon when you start your laptop.

Hi Nepatsfan,

Thank you for your comments. I'll admit that it has been years since I have run a Windows machine that was not protected by appropriate passwords. I have configured autologon a long time ago, but that was not my intention now.

Instead, I was thinking about the situation that occurs after a default XP installation. When there is only one user account, and it has no password, the Welcome screen does, IIRC, not appear. Do you mean I'm mistaken here?
