It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about the problem

1) Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
2) Highlight the user account you want automatically logged on
3) Uncheck Users must enter a username.............
4) Click Apply
5) In the next dialog enter the password for the account you chose in Step 2, if any.
6) Ok your way out.

For shutdown, open a Command Prompt window and enter SHUTDOWN /?

Then create a shortcut on the Desktop or in your Quick Launch bar with the appropriate command line options.

Goto Start, Run and type "control userpasswords2"
Then under the users tab, uncheck Users must enter a username/pass to use
this computer"
Then press ok and Enter your username/password

Or

Alternatively, you can use TweakUI for Windows XP to do this.
See the Logon/Auto-Logon Section
