Easy Alternative:

Download and install TweakUI:

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (TweakUI)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

After installing, go to Start > Programs > PowerToys for Windows XP >
TweakUI. Expand "Logon", click on "Autologon" and place a check
next to "Log on automatically at system startup", then click "apply".

this is the easiest way:

1.. Click Start, and then click Run.
2.. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2, and then click OK.
3.. In the dialog box that appears, clear the Users must enter a user name
and password to use this computer check box, and then click OK.
