Booting without logging in?

[Don J]

How do I boot without logging on? TweakUI offers a way, but it works once
then doesn't 'stick' until a password is specified. That works for awhile
then there is an error on bootup and eventually the screen locks up, and one
has to do a reinstall of Windows XP. There is another method that ivolves
launching "conntrol userpasswords2". But that works exactly once and then
becomes deactivated,

Still have the same problem I had before. It works corectly but the
log on screen has an error message

"Log on Message: The system could not log you on. Make sure your user
name and domain are correct. Then type your password again Letters on
passwords must be typed using the correct case."

This covers-up a "Log on Window" dialog box. Both these cover over the
standard Logon background. Clicking OK and both message boxes and
background disappear.

After booting as described a few times, the system suddenly starts
flashing through the two message boxes and ends up with the standard
background. At this point there is no alternative but to turn off power.
The first few times it did it I recovered by doing a Windows XP
reinstallation. Then I got a bright idea. As the screen was about to flash
by I continually hit ENTER. Occationally I caught it and was logged on.

Can anyone halp me with this problem?.
