Can anyone tell me how to eliminate the windows log on?
Search using Google!

In other words: How do I make it so my computer is less secure and I no
longer have to enter a username/password to use it?
(Usually followed by, "I am the only user of this computer...")
Automatic Logons:

control userpasswords2 method:
1) Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.
2) Type in the following:
control userpasswords2
now click OK
3) In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the
primary logon.
Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." box.
4) Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the selected
users password.
Click OK when you are done...

Hopefully that gets you where you are wanting to be.
It is a *good* thing in the user arena to:
1) Have strong passwords.
2) Have more than one administrator level account (with strong passwords).
I know - you are the "only one who lives there, the only one who uses your
computer".. etc. Great. When your home gets broken into and computer
stolen (either physically or virtually) <- you may be thinking something
else, like "all of my (the only person who lives here, the only person who
uses that computer) records, pictures, emails, financial information, cached
passwords, contacts, etc.. are on that computer."
But that is an individual choice. You get to weigh the risks. =)
