Is there a way to do this without editing the registry?
XP is a multi-user operating system, no matter if only one person is
using it. In all multi-user operating systems - NT, Win2k, XP, Unix,
Linux, Mac OSX - there is at least one built-in account. In Windows
terminology, that is "Administrator". In the *nix world, it is "root".
This is a necessary account and is not normally used in everyday work.
You cannot delete the built-in Administrator account nor would you ever
want to. You should create at least one other user account for your
daily work.
If you like, you can set your computer to log into your user account
automatically. The effect will be of going directly to your Desktop. No
registry editing is required. If you don't want to set a password, you
don't have to. You can use a blank.
