WinXP Pro - Automatic logon upon boot - How?

[Souka]

I want to setup a WinXP Pro system so that it automatically logs into a local user account (system is in a peer-2-peer setup).

The only way I've figured out to do this is to enable the point-n-click logon and set the acocunt to have no password.

I want the account to have a password however and I just can't figure out how.


Any ideas? Suggestions?!

Thanks in advance.

I think you can do what you want with the logon feature of Tweakui in the XP Power Toys. There are various other utilities that tdo this too, but power toys is free.

a friend sent me this URL link that shows how to do it in the registry for NT,2000, and XP.
