My client has peer to peer network with 3 computers running Windows XP Pro. My client want setup each computer so that all computer will go straight to Desktop screen without stopping at Logon Screen. Is that possible to do and still be logon into network. Each computer is mapped to each other local hard drive for sharing.

Yes.

There is a rather simple solution to this.

From each computer, do the following.

Start | Run and type ?Control Userpasswords2? without the quotes.
Uncheck from the box of ?user must enter a user name and password to use this computer?.
Hit Apply button.
?Automatically logon? window will appear. Enter user name and password.
Hit OK button.

Another method would be to download Powertoys for Windows XP and in Tweakui there is an option for exactly what you require.
