I want xp to automatically logon but I want it to use my password. I don't
use the quick (change user screen) login screen. I, instead, use the old
fashion way where the login and password box comes up. I looked into the
registry and added the following Strings.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="xxxx xxxx"
"DefaultPassWord"="xxx"
 
Go to Start...Run...and type in CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 and press Enter (a
space between CONTROl and the rest of it).

Left click to select the account you want, then uncheck the box just above
the accounts.

Click on Apply and you'll get a dialog to enter your password. Click OK to
close the dialogs, reboot, and viola! :0)

userpasswords2 does not work on my system. I know that is what I did for
Windows Vista but for XP, it says that the program does not exist.

Did you include the "control" before userpasswords2?

Either way, you can do it with TweakUI XP as well.
