The Admin account has always been there, it's just visible now.

You can download XP Powertoys for free from Microsoft. The program
TweakUI will allow you to set your account to automatically log on.

You can also clear the password to your account which will accomplish
almost the same thing. However, some features in XP are disabled without
a password protected account.

1. Go to Start | Run and type in: control userpasswords2 | Ok.

2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password
To Use This Computer check box and then click OK.

3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user
name and password for the account you want to be logged on each time you
start your computer.

You can accomplish the same thing by:

Download and install tweakui for xp and use its auto logon feature.

Lastly you can add the Dialog box that comes up when running control
userpasswords 2 to the Control Panel with the following tweak:

Add Control User Passwords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)
