When i startup XP, i want it to automatically log on to the main user. I had it like this before so i know it's possible, just forgot how to do it.

Yes just like Plat. Gold said (almost got it m8 ;)), click Run and type "control userpasswords2". This will bring up a window so you can setup the existing/new user with password, then highlight the user, and untick the box stating user must enter pass. Type in the pass. again and that'll set you up ;)

Download TweakUI from Microsoft's Powertoys.

It has the autologon tweak for you and a host of other useful tweaks as well.
