To enable this function you need to add several new values to the key
below.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

Add a new string value named 'DefaultUserName' and set it to the username
you wish to automatically logon as.
Add a new string value named 'DefaultPassword' and set this to the password
for the user entered above.
Add a new string value named 'DefaultDomainName' and set this to the domain
of the user. Ignore this value if the NT box is not participating in NT
Domain security.

Add a new string value named 'AutoAdminLogon' and set it to either '1' to
enable auto logon or '0' to disable it.

Exit and restart, Windows should not ask for a password and automatically
show the desktop of the user.
Note: The password is stored in registry, which means anyone who has access
to the machine has access to the password.

Note: You can bypass this function by holding down the SHIFT key during the
boot or logoff process.

Note: It is also important to note that if the DontDisplayLastUserName
value is enabled, the auto logon feature does not function

System Key : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Value name :AutoAdminLogon
Data Type:REG_SZ(string Value)
Value Data:(0=disable,1=Enable)

Note : Please take a backup of your registry before doing this.
