This is from:

www.aylott.com.au/faq.htm

"Go to Control Panel>Networks and set the Primary Network Logon to 'Windows Logon'. You may need Client for Microsoft Networks loaded for other reasons,but it does not have to be the default client. Do NOT restart your computer when prompted.

Go to Control Panel>Passwords and change your password to an empty string. If you have a password set you will need to enter it every time Windows starts. In the Change Windows Password dialog box enter your existing password and leave the other two boxes empty. If you don't know your password you must delete any *.PWL files from your WINDOWS folder - next time you log on you will be prompted for a password and you can then leave it blank.

Restart your computer. "

This didn't help me any. I log in now by simply clicking on cancel, with no password. I want to eliminate the entire login process.

The Previous answer is correct, however you should ensure you are not on a Domain, since disabling Client For Microsoft Networks may disallow you from connection to the network.

Leave your network settings alone, download tweakui http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/tweakui
install it and go to the logon tab and have it logon for you automatically.....
I think this will get you what you want (not having to type a password)and not risk messing up your network. Lots of other neat stuff there too.....

Run Regedit and navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network

Create a new DWORD value called DisablePwdCaching

When its hexadecimal value is set to 1, it will not prompt for, or store, a local Windows password.
