Mike, I've used this on XP systems in the past.

Open Regedit and go to the following subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Change or add the following values to Winlogon:

AutoAdminLogon: REG_SZ: 1
DefaultUserName: REG_SZ: <username>
DefaultPassword: REG_SZ: <Password for username>
DefaultDomainName: REG_SZ: <Domain for username>
DontDisplayLastUserName: REG_SZ: 0

Restart the system
