Click [Start] [Run] and type
"control userpasswords2"
Click [OK]
The [User Accounts] Property Sheet displays.
On [Users] tab, clear the [Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer] check box.
Click [Apply].
Enter a user name and password that should be used to logon automatically in the dialog box that appears.
Click [OK].
Go to [Control Panel] [User Accounts] [Change the Way Users Log On and Off].
Uncheck [Use the Welcome Screen] and [Use Fast User Switching]

ok well i did what phaedus said and this turned into a huge problem... when i restarted it went to a logon screen and it said i needed to enter my password so i try and nothing happens... it says that the system could not log me on try a different username or password... the only thing i can do is shut down restart and it just ends up at the exact same screen! DAMNM WINDOWS XP.. DAMN IT! i need some serious help how do i bypass this?
