make sure your account does not have a password on it. If the admin account doesnt have a PW on it it should just log you on automatically.
 
If that doesnt work download the Windows XP powertoys off of the Microsoft Windows XP site.

when i updated, i downloaded a .net update, and that created a user account. so then i had to log in. i erased the account and now it starts up without logging in.
