The answer takes a bit of finding, you have to type just the right question
into Google. Most of our PCs at work have to be set up to prompt for a
login but if you need something like a Powerpoint presentation to run
immediately on power up then you have to do just what you are asking and set
the machine to start Windows without a login.
To do this:
1. Ask Google "Start XP without login"
2. Follow the link to the Microsoft page at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231
3. Follow the instructions
Here they are to save you following steps 1 - 3:
1. Click Start, then click Run
2. In the Open box, type 'control userpasswords2', and then click OK.
3. Clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer" check box, and then click Apply
4. In the Automatically Log On window, type the password in the Password
box, and then retype the password in the Confirm Password box.
5. Click OK to close the Automatically Log On window, and then click OK to
close the User Accounts window.

The " Master Of the Universe" can't fix a simple Windows problem?
Man, what *is* this world coming to?
