I used it on Windows 98. Now using it on Windows 2000. I had to wait for my 
techie son to put it in simple terms but here it is
1.one solution
TweakUI, a widely available program forWindows, has this feature built-in, 
for automatically signing on.
2.second solution
If one is brave enough to take on registry editting, then you 
Start-Run->Regedit
3. third solution and the one I resorted to ...
Goto:
Local Machine->Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->Current Version->Winlogon
In this part of the tree, new or existing string keys need to be set thusly:
Key:                              Values:
AutoAdminLogon        1
DefaultUserName        WhateverYourSignonNameGoesHere
DefaultPassword          YourPasswordAtStartupGoesHere
DefaultDomainName   NameOfYourComputerHere
DisableCAD                1

You can find out the name of your computer from the "Computer Name" tab of 
the System control panel.

Watch out! Twice I lost data because the hard drive ran out of memory.
