How about using an automatic log on
This is from NT Tips ........

For this tip to work, you must have a password, and you must enter the
password that you chose for your system log-on. If you enter a
different password, you'll have problems with other programs.
This will not work if you have a empty password ......so if you don't have
a password and just hit enter as a password then you need to set a real
password before preceding.
Keep in mind the usual warnings about making changes to the Registry.
Run RegEdit and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Look in the right pane for AutoAdminLogon. If it's there, double-click
it and change the value to 1.
If it isn't there, choose Edit, New, String Value. Name the new value
AutoAdminLogon. Now double-click the new entry's icon and give it the
value 1. Click OK.
For the automatic log-on to work, you have to add your password. Look
for DefaultPassword in the right pane. If it isn't there, create it by
choosing Edit, New, String Value. Double-click the new icon and when
the dialog box opens, assign your password to it. Click OK to close
the dialog box. (Note: The password cannot be a space or a null
string. If you use a space or null string, this tip will not work).
Now you can close RegEdit and restart the computer.
