Automatically log user into domain and bypass login screen

I am running a server with 2003, and have set up a small domain for roughly 35 computers.  Each workstation has to log into the domain everytime they start the computer.  I'd like to make this automatic as the users rarely remember the login information (user, password, domain name).  Is there a script that can do this, and how do I write/install it?

An Acceptable Use Policy signed by all of the users delineating what they can and cannot do with company IT property would fix that in 5 minutes. Along with some training that is.
An AUP would make it clear that it is the user's responsibility to make sure they use good passwords.
Protecting company assets such as data should be seen in the same light as their bank card information.

Your solution worked, Guru. Much thanks. I agree that this is not the best option, but we are not in the best environment (an urban school) and require as much automation as possible. One final question . . . is there a way to enact this using the server, or will I need to go from workstation to workstation? Thanks!
No easy way to enact it at the server because each username and password is different.
