try downloading tweakui from the microsoft web site.
http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/downloads/PowerToys/Networking/NTTweakUI.asp
It might say that it only works for Windows NT4, 98, 2000, etc but it works for XP as well.
Extract the files, right click the .inf file and select install.
then go to control panel and open tweakUI.
under the "logon" tab, you can select a username and a password to use for an automatic login.

That is the wrong version Phant, there is a version for just XP http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
We've discussed this Tweakui version conflict before: https://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2999&highlight=tweakui

Yeah I know that there is a TweakUI especially for Windows XP, it comes with the Windows XP powertoys.
But this version works just fine and I generally prefer it. I've had no problems with this version under XP and I've not heard of anyone who has. Apologies if you know something I don't.

Well, MS and most things I've read warns not to use the older version with XP due to un-named conflicts and problems. That is why I always point people with XP to the version for XP.
No one has pointed out any specific problems that I'm aware of. I just don't like using something that is not recommended when there is another version made for the particular version.

TweakXP also has this feature I believe. http://www.totalidea.de/frameset-tweakxp.htm
Geez you guys are so stupid, why tweak for when you can just do the following?
Click start> run, enter “ control userpasswords2 “. Click your user account, untick the box Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer. Click apply, this will open a box giving you the option to log on automatically.Type in your password. Click Ok when you’re done, the change will take effect next time you log on.

This method does not work if you are part of a domain. In which case you would need to use TweakUI. So, I am officially criticising your "idea". Just remember, no matter how slick you think you are, there is always someone else that knows more.
