There are a couple ways... for XP.

A. Click Start, Run and type CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2, and click Ok. Select the user account from the list (the account to which you want to automatically logon). Uncheck Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer option, and click Ok. Type the user account password and complete the process.

OR

B. Registry hack

1. Click the Start button and select Run. Type “regedit” in the field and click OK.

2. Browse to the registry key titled “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\C urrentVersion\Winlogon.”

3. Double click DefaultUserName and enter your account name. Click OK. Then double click DefaultPassword, enter your current password and click OK. If DefaultPassword does not appear, create the value by clicking the Edit menu, selecting New and then selecting String Value. Name the value as DefaultPassword. Once it’s created, double click Default Password and enter your chosen password.

4. Double click AutoAdminLogon and enter “1” in the Value Data box. Click OK. If AutoAdminLogon does not appear, create it using the same method in the step above and set the value as 1.

5. Close the Registry Editor and reboot your computer. You should log into Windows automatically.
