It's an VFAQ. Type the words

Windows automatic logon

into a Google search box, then take your pick.

Start | Run, type "control userpasswords2" Select the account you want
to logon to automatically. Then uncheck the box "Users must enter a
user name and password to use this computer."

Or do the same thing with TweakUI.
