Eliminating need to Log-on

[Tom]

Is there a way of eliminating the need for the log-on
dialog box when starting or rebooting my laptop computer?
I understand the security issues but, and I repeat, but I
am the only one using my notebook computer. I have
installed Windows XP-professional on both my Desktop and
the laptop ... yet this has become an issue only for my
laptop computer. Any wisdom that you can send my way,
will be greatly appreciated!
