Try this -
1. At the command prompt type: rundll32 netplwiz.dll,UsersRunDll
2. In the User Accounts dialog that appears, clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" check box and click OK
3. Enter the user name and password of the account you want to automatically want to log on.
 
Have fun

Very cool, BUT is there a way to do it within windows (the OS) itself?
Also, where may i get TweakUI for XP?
