vmware(a software) has created a user but this one doesn't appear in the login screen so I guess there is a way to apply this policie to the user I created
 
thank you

You can use TweakUI to enable autologon. Also with TweakUI, you can specify which users appear on the welcome screen. TweakUI is part of the WinXP Powertoys package. It is not available on MS website for now, they are working on a new version, which will be available in April. But you can download the previous version here.
