Hi Thorsten. Welcome to XPe development.
1. There is an Automatic Login component located in the category Software :
System : Security : Infrastructure. You can set the domain name, user name,
and password that you wish to automatically log in.
2. The administrator password can be set in the Advanced Properties of the
Administrator Account component in your configuration editor in Target
Designer. Click on the Administrator Account component in the configuration
editor and then click the Advanced button in the details pane. You can set
the password in the cmiUserPassword setting.
3. Assuming that you're talking about componentizing drivers so that they
can be built into XPe, you can use 3rd party tools to determine system
modifications required for your drivers to run. There are system "snap shot"
tools that enable you to track changes made to your system as a result of
installing a driver. RegMon (
www.sysinternals.com) and RegSnap
(
http://lastbit.com/regsnap/default.asp) can help determine registry
changes, FileMon (sysinternals) can help determine file system changes, and
InCtrl5 can determine registry and file system changes as a result of
installing a driver or program using an installation program. There's also a
tool called Depends.exe that can help determine any file dependencies that
an executable may have. Here's a link with some useful info:

4. The same methods described above can be used to help create an
application component. The application can be made into a custom shell
component, in which the application is the main interface to the system. If
you want to use the Explorer shell and have the application start upon
bootup, you can add a registry entry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. You can
also add a RunOnce Request into your component. Here's an article that
describes a RunOnce Request:

In general, the MDSN embedded web site, along with this newsgroup, can
provide you with a lot of very useful information to help with your
development.
Best of luck!
