The first answer is correct. Let me expand on that, by saying that you must delete all existing profiles that users have created on the PC. I would also delete all password files on the PC by searching for *.PWL and deleting those. In the Passwords applet in the Control Panel go to the User Passwords tab (third one) and check the box that says all users use the same settings on this computer. Once you have rebooted, Windows will ask for a password (since you've deleted all the .PWL files) and if you enter just Enter in the password, no user will be prompted for a password again. Set the desktop the way you want it and you're good to go!
