Windows XP Autologon

I would like to set my computer to "auto logon" after a restart.  I am using Windows XP.  The only user configured is Administrator without a password.  When I boot now it comes to the Welcome screen and I click on Admininstrator on in go to my desktop.  Basicly I want to do away with the clicking on Administrator.

Thanks.

easier method is using "control userpasswords2" as described above.
I don't know using tweak to me is easiest and faster :>)
yes. if you have installed Tweakui already, which most users don't :)
True :)
"control userpasswords2" should be the standard practice since it will be do-able on every XP Pro system

thanks tweak...
As exgayst wrote the simplest and easiest way to solve the problem is type "control userpasswords2" on run and and you can activate auto logon.

crazyone, the registry script you provided is flawed, the userrname you used was "user", the questioner's username was "Administrator".

Whoops!
"user" is metaphor for to say place the users name here :)
What if the "User must enter a username and password to use this computer" check box does not appear on this tab?  Where did it go?
Seems the regedit fixes that last comment...creates the checkbox.  This seems the best way to ensure it is done properly:
